The trees beside the road

I really don't know you are serious.

You set the the recorder up, and clipped the mini mic on my collar.

"ok, the sound record will be much better if the mic put on there." You said, then you opened the note book, and waited for my speech.

I regarded that you marked down the time code of the recorder on the note book, for you to refer back after the interview.

Is this a assignment of the history class?

I was shocked by you when you treat me as treasure. How come a 19-years-old young guy interest on parents' story in this world?

When I was 19-years-old, my parents were seen as if the trees beside the road. The trees were planted on 2 side of the road, the trunks were spilled by the dirty water when the vehicles go through on it.

The grey cloud float in the sky which is gradually covering the eyes of the road trees.

The road trees are standing by their roots and guarding the city but their face were covered by the dust, which surrounding the city.

Who? who will stop their step to care about the road trees and to know what kind of the trees are?
