Speaking Tree
"Why am I being treated like this?"
"Or is it just me imagining things?"
" Why are they being like this?"
" Or have I gone crazy?"

"Oh! How do you know my name!"
"You told me earlier, don't you remember?"
"Oh.. Yes. But.. How can you....?"
"Sit down first."
And I sat down facing the tree.
