" In other words, even the trees have not been in the state very long, and they, just like everyone, are all about show rather than reality.

The poem is apparently set during New Year's Eve, as there is some anticipation about a new event. "A century has ended, a new one has begun." But even the conversation is artfully constructed, as people make references to how the anticipation always is better than the actual event, a common cliche. People are also by and large all on a night out, waiting in the banquettes of fancy restaurants, and making a show of having a good time, as people are supposed to have on New Year's Eve.

Although the poem regards this good time with some humorous distance, the poet also is apparently a willing participant in this silliness, as he sees it all from the vantage point of a reveler, and mirrors the carefully constructed 'good time' in the rhyme and style of his verse.
