24/7 Palm Sunday

Last month, there was a man
seated at a bus stop adjacent 
to the Long Beach Aquarium.

When I took this picture, 
he looked at me
and said

Aqui, cada día 
es el Domingo 
de Palmas.

  1. Are They Skydusters?
    Heaven can't be climbed
    And the fish can't swim
    To the sea.
    But the trees reach
    High as can be

    1. Given their present size and age (≈30 yrs)
      these palm trees qualify as
      Junior Skydusters.

  2. One hopes the fruit
    Of the skyduster
    Or whatever these
    Palms may be
    Satisfy hungry mouths

  3. The fruit of the skyduster
    Is neither sky nor dust

    Eat it? Almost none must
    But in palm trees
    We trust

  5. Palms symbolize peace,
    welcome to the hero and eternal life.
    May it never cease.
