Every human should be a tree for a day
give the brain a break
provide the world with shade and oxygen
break leaves and branches
and still, stand tall.

Every tree should be a human for a day
flee at the sight of a danger
travel the world with maps
carry their offspring, sing them to sleep
laugh to the jokes of their lover.
