In life
Walking through
The rows of trees on either side
Then, the standing trees
Walk backwards
I ask them to walk along with me
They walk backwards still
Walked a bit faster
The faster does the trees
Walk backwards, away from me
Tried running
Trees
Run
Backwards
I decide I will run along with the trees,
And went back
Still
They go in the opposite direction
To mine
In poetry**
It is because I feel sad
About eons that you have been standing
In the same position,
That I make you run like this,
Even though backwards..
