Today I broke into a sprint of my own kind
Leaving my crowded park behind
Bursting sidewalks to green lines
Squeezing subways in perfect time
You were there
Dirt in pot
We made love
You joined the cause
The wind was our friend
It spread our message
Concrete jungle to
Collective garden
Miles away they split us up
Pruning shears, they tore and cut
Phantom limbs cast out like trash
Reeked in heat and burst in ash
I'm seeing red, I'm smashing cars
I'm constricting, I'm Autumn's scars
My roots send tremors, Leaves envelop
My vines are eyes designed to
Looked around, there you were
Your face imprinted, on a t-shirt
And some sneakers
You coexist, you compromise
You rally for, your strip of sunlight
You're just a potted plant
