The ****

A single ****

Sprouts from the ground

First of its kind?

Last to be cut down?

This ****

Could be either one

A pioneer, or survivor

Alone in the sun

Part of a cycle

Which stage I'm not sure

Past or future

It's now a blur

And this ****

As far as I can see

Does in fact

Look like me

I will sprout and die

Trying to be free

And to stand alone

From the collective "we"
