FEB 5, urban concerns: aged street tree

poetry lyrics:/ How I fret about where canines pee;/ Such vexation for this aged tree!/
"Our curbside green zone -- /Pesky pets, leave alone!/ Owners help keep our space urine-free.

 

Authors' Note: This verse drew inspiration from the poem "Cuore di Legno" (Heart of Wood) by Italian poet Primo Levi. In the poem, the narrator, an aged horse chestnut growing on a busy urban street, complains of, among other insults, being peed on by neighborhood dogs. 

Other related issues expressed in verse form are collected on our blogpost "Urban Concerns".
