After reading “The Lorax”

We’ll rush the last tree
Across the sky at
Speed hypersonic
To a lab whose air
Is conditioned by
Means electronic

Where it can be saved
(It is hoped) in a
Tank hydroponic:
Proof human nature
Is ultimately
Oxymoronic.

Rightful air
Moves into
Its kingdom
At the least
Breathing space.
