can you tell me why the flowers wilt (even when i tape their petals together again?) can you tell me why the branches snap (even when i nail them back onto their trunk?) can you tell me why the bark sheds (even when i glue it on again?) can you tell me why it doesn't rain anymore (even when the flowers wilt, and the branches snap, and the bark sheds?) can you tell me why an ecosystem collapses, why my forest dies without warning? can you tell me why? and can you tell me how to fix it? best, mr. mechanic

dear mr. botanist,
can you tell me why the flowers wilt (even when i tape their petals together again?) can you tell me why the branches snap (even when i nail them back onto their trunk?) can you tell me why the bark sheds (even when i glue it on again?) can you tell me why it doesn't rain anymore (even when the flowers wilt, and the branches snap, and the bark sheds?) can you tell me why an ecosystem collapses, why my forest dies without warning? can you tell me why? and can you tell me how to fix it? best, mr. mechanic
