Eyes to See Ears to Hear

I called out all the criers from Sydney BC.
Loaded them on the Victoria Clipper
Placing them next to trees due for removal.
Voices up and down to plead.
A human boulevard
Along a cutting swath.

They are going to cut down a large number of trees in Bellevue Wa. to make room for power lines. The street 148th has a wonderful tree-filled boulevard even with the increase of car traffic  it makes one pause. The poem above is my imagined protest
