Trees!

Many of us think
Motion is what makes us alive.
Something moving or twitching, even
Then it’s alive.
Who cares about the inside?
Who cares about the filth he’s carrying around?
As long as it’s moving.

But-
If that’s how it works,
Are you gonna tell me that trees are dead?
Just because they’re motionless?
Trees don’t move, yeah.
That wouldn’t make them less alive though.
They’re alive more than any of us.
With their graceful appearance,
Breathing out life-
Breathing in the intoxicating air of ours.
Yeah motionless, but alive!
