2 Trees
Two trees trade gossip, wonder about distant worlds, drink in the sun, and contemplate the strange limits of a rooted life.
1: Johnny!!! Johnny!!! Johnny!!!
2: Yes Burt?
1: Johnny what happened to Jack?
2: He’s in Australia, he wanted to travel.
1: We’re trees Johnny. We can’t travel.
2: No of course. Of course. But they moved him!
1: Ahhhh the Arborist again. Well I hope we hear from him soon.
2: Johnny, … «slurp, slurp» I’ve always wondered why we’re here. Not in this exact spot. But why everything is here.
1: Burt. «slurp, slurp» me too! You think there’s other worlds? Other places like ours. Imagine the trees there~~ bigger, the size of planets.
2: «slurp, slurp, slurp» It sure is sunny today isn’t it? Got a lot of growing to do..
1: «slurp, slurp» that breeze is nice. I hope a storm doesn’t come in. Almost felled me last time!
2: «slurp, slurp»
