Autoplay

A tree with its bones on the outside
and its leaves within
is a supertree saviour
like a man with his underpants on the outside
is a christ.

Unless it's just a nerd,
who does it alone
or in the company of other inside-outs:
in which case,
if you see one,
you're one too.

I like the concept of 'inside-out'-a good title. you seem to relate the main concept to Christ with the arresting phrase ' a supertree saviour'. I hope I'm not one too-a nerd.
