Have you ever seen anything so
barren as a neighborhood? I swear
even the nature there is sterile -
narrowed down to a few well-
behaved bushes, shaved into
submission, bereaved of freedom.
i miss the rebellion
of the trees
pushing defiantly even through
concrete to see the sky not silent
and fearful like these
things crowded and compliant with no
room to breathe freely
do they even seem
alive
