Total: 52
How do the trees sprint?
Solution:
The poetess is driving to the Cochin Airport. When she looks outside, the young trees seem to be moving backwards as the car moves ahead. With the speed of the car they seem to be running fast or sprinting. The poetess represents a contrast between her 'dozing' mother and the 'sprinting' young trees.
