A

pine cone lying
on the            ground
is at the    end of its life.
doomed          to lay in
the dirt    for months
      Its brown            layers
    opened,               like branches
    mimicking                      the tree
            it may one                 day become.
The tree makes    the pine cone
as 1       of 100.
Once it      grows up,
it is cast out      to the ground,
useless      to anyone,
except        itself.
If luck       has its way,
there may      be some hope.
A tree       could grow
with it            will come
more green,    more air,
more worthless pine cones.
