Those Two

Those Two - meaning Summary

Trees as Human Voices

A brief imagined exchange between two trees anthropomorphizes nature to mirror human attitudes. One tree objects to a white car and the smell of gasoline, expressing discomfort with human interference. The other dismisses the concern as neurotic and criticizes posture. The poem turns a small, everyday observation into a vignette about perspective, judgment, and how differing responses to environmental intrusion reflect interpersonal dynamics.
