Buildings

On the sidewalk buildings loom above

Competing with each other to buy my love

 

They mean to ****** me into their hearts

Promises of 25% off and shopping carts

 

And though I always refuse

These buildings, well, don't like to lose

 

See, everywhere I go I see more

As if they had sprung instantly from the floor

 

Now the question the bothers me:

What happened to all the trees?

 

Pillars instead of trunks, windows instead of leaves

I've locked myself in, and lost the keys
