Piously praying
Never liking the things
his friends were saying.
The others content
with no “life” of their own
in time with his yearning
He grew so alone.
Listening to others’
rustle and chatter
While making plans
for what really
mattered.
Leaf summed them up in scale to himself
answering (if at all)
in deigned help.
