up a tree
i have issues
with kids
who climb trees
trees are alive
climbing
grabbing onto limbs
swinging
pulling one self up
it looks great
but
i worry
about the tree
how many times
have you seen
someone
walking in a park
grab
a branch
yank or break it off
i wonder
how those people
would feel
if someone
pulled
their arm or leg or hair
yes
i am a tree hugger
wanna make something of it?
