A face in the tree – v3

A face in the tree,
puffed up, bellicose, pouting,
a character from a Dickens' novel,
staring back at me, himself,
standing on a London street.
 
A face in the tree,
the trunk to be more accurate,
its gray bark revealing...
"Harrumph, I take umbrage,
at this trifle, your bit of whimsy."
 
A face in the tree,
aging as we ponder
the great questions of life,
life's little peccadilloes,
imbroglios, frozen in time.
