happy belated arbor day

sometimes i think that i can't breathe
oxygen in, carbon dioxide out

a friend of mine told me
she wanted to be a tree in her next life
i told her to stop planning her death
after all, nobody cares about arbor day

if we become trees after we die
maybe there's a chance
that people will care enough to keep breathing
after all, symbiosis isn't selfish

sometimes i like trees more than myself
carbon dioxide in, oxygen out.
