I Am Not a Gardener
do you know
what we do with
budding flowers? talk
to them, water
them, place them in slightly bigger
pots over time to make sure they
have room to grow and space
to spread their roots, do you know
what we do with
budding flowers? we
maintain their soil, put
them near the sun, fertilize
them and proselytize
their growth, but you
are not a budding flower, this
is not a garden, this
is a concrete jungle, young one, you
must go find the water
yourself.
