a giant cage. held soil. A tall, six foot cage.
A bird landed on cage. Took a crap. White and brown bird shit.
Inside dropping a seed. seed of sequoia tree. And yes, it grew.
It grew slow. Right in cage.
It was stuck. The metal heat up then cool down from sun. one day, trunk widened and feel weight of cage.
tree knew its strength. would grow into cage, stretch arms through bar holes and limbs would bend bars.
full, tall, lifted cage into air, now wearing cage as ornament. Wearing cage as hat. warming and cooling hat, more than hundred feet in air, with stretched bars, greenery, bursting from seams.
