Trees planted,
growing at natures' will,
abstract in patterns.
Roadways,
tree lined avenues of communication.
Supporting horse drawn messengers,
shading voices shouting to one another,
vibrating the air for all to hear.
Trees alive and growing,
contributing.
Trees cut down,
telephone poles errected.
(trees interfere with wires).
New, higher speed communication.
Poles, bones of trees,
cut straight and identical,
only taking, giving nothing back.
No horses on the highways.
Conversations contained,
by conduits of wire,
directed to individual ears.
The new carriages do not need shade,
do not need to breathe.
