Any time a redwood moves
a whole lot of world
moves with it.
Sequoia sempervirens
means to stay
a while. After all
it's not called brevivirens, for
example.
The big one out front
sucking up
all those tons
all those tons
the carbon scum
of the freeway feeder
has survived successive
attacks. One next
attacks. One next
door neighbour lops
off as much as
an expensive arborist
can manage, and then
the house
the house
changes hands
and a new
presumptive owner
of this great tree
attacks it again,
the pain
is palpable
in the muted tree talk
among the midlevel tiers.
It is all that's holding
the broken
hillside
together, under
the broken house.
It doesn't care
about much.
Hates the sound
of chain
saws. Doubtless dislikes the thought
of Drumpf, but not enough
for it to matter
too much
too much
yet.

Maggie Haberman: The first few days: a series of tweets
Trump told us in our NYT meeting, when I asked him about waterboarding the week after elex, that Mattis had told him it doesn't work.
A few final thoughts on the weekend/first few days. Trump had less than 4 hours sleep on Saturday, when he woke up and, at about 7 am.,
started calling advisers and aides angry about the @BCAppelbaum RT by parks, accusing media of being out to get him. Trump's worst
impulse control is when he's tired or overstretched, or in an uncertain situation. All three took place Saturday. Trump is unable
to let go of any grievance or perceived slight. And he is genuinely transfixed by people thinking his election isn't legit. He is
to let go of any grievance or perceived slight. And he is genuinely transfixed by people thinking his election isn't legit. He is
as his advisers say often, at his most self-destructive when the stakes are high (see post-primary, post-convention, debates) and
has historically been the one who most undercuts himself. He is also driven by desire to be treated seriously/with respect. For the WH
the idea was that people would be around him who knew him or knew DC or could calm him. The more time ppl spend w Trump, the more they

tend to adopt his mindset about how he is treated. Not all aides thought Spicer jeremiad was a bad idea. But all shared view POTUS
was being treated poorly. by press. None could get him to move past the feeling of injury, to focus on the enormity at hand.
BUT POTUS's historic impulse for self-sabotage is almost always countered/overshadowed by his instinct for survival
