#100poeticanswers  15: What Are Those Trees Doing Together? Are They A Team?

Another question from Finn.

It’s something I have wondered myself. When you see a group of trees together, what are they up to? 

Note, save me twos is what British (at least Yorkshire) teenagers say when they want someone to give them the second half of a cigarette. Don’t smoke, kids.

They hang out on corners,

Grow lichen tattoos  

Do Carbon Monoxide 

(Hey mate, save me twos!)

Blow oxygen smoke rings,

Throw leaves on the ground,

Look cool and impressive 

Just standing around 

They rustle and murmur,

Throw all kinds of shade

But it isn’t a gang

When it’s trees: it’s a glade.
