Neat

Ready to impress:
first day of school, kids lined up;
straight-backed, lake front trees.

Connectivity

Photo of power lines along an empty road leading towards outback South Australia.

Nod to modern life:
power lines in the outback;
country goes city.

Reciprocation

World’s twisted logic:
humans allow trees to live;
they respond in kind.

Blind eye

We look, never see—
old tree on a roundabout,
plastics in our seas.

Connections

Cobwebby branches,
communication networks—
city roundabouts.
