Context: "what have the plants taught you?"
I once asked trees (here in Minnesota) if they feel pain during winter, from the cold.
"We sleep," replied the trees.
When I say "I once asked", I mean it literally ... summer, years ago, while leaning against a tree and wondering how it responded to winter.
So I asked the tree — this one specific tree — if it felt pain.
Commentary
I am a scientist first, but a poet also.
