It's spring in Bridgeport. This doesn't really much because there is too much concrete for flowers to grow and the abandoned, decaying buildings block out the sun. But every once in awhile a flower slips through the concrete That one flower stands out more than it ever could in a pretty,little garden behind the white picket fences of the suburbs Against all odds it fought it's way through the cracks In it's desolate environment and bloomed Roots grow when seeds crack Flowers ( at least in this city ) bloom when the concrete cracks Beauty in spite of or perhaps because of the death and decay around it
