i'm eager to see the leaves come out on this little tree. i hope it survives the winter. this is a hard town for a young tree to grow up in, the exhaust, the mad park district limb whack-jobs, and citizen-denizen whack-jobs, i wish i could protect this little tree, shit, i wish i could protect all the trees. if i wasn't a dogsbody, i'd like to be the man who planted trees. what a sweet story life can be.
