Trees in Yosemite

Look at the trees !...
I know trees I said
Look at the trees !

...your stinging voice was rising
High pitch irritation
White hands clenching at the wheel
You glared at me.

The trees ...like angry teeth
Flashed past all green

I’m looking at the trees I said

Remembering the Neon Boneyard
Shimmering in the Vegas sun.
