Neon flickers through the grease-stained glass
Asphalt steams where tires pass
Quercus roots crack sidewalk seams
Hound dreams deep in diesel dreams
Nitrogen rises from the grill Mycorrhiza networks still
Stomata open for the night
Phloem flows in pale moonlight
Booth hound hums in minor key
Xylem drinks the coffee spill
Rooted deep where shadows be
Photosynthesis standing still
Booth hound hums in minor key
Xylem drinks the coffee spill
Tags click soft on aluminum
Rhizome spreads through linoleum
Bacon scent through vents descends
Petiole bends where light extends
Nitrogen rises from the grill
Mycorrhiza networks still
Stomata open for the night
Phloem flows in pale moonlight
Booth hound hums in minor key
Xylem drinks the coffee spill
Rooted deep where shadows be Photosynthesis standing still
Booth hound hums in minor key
Xylem drinks the coffee spill
Rain-slick fur on vinyl seat
Chlorophyll stains on concrete feet
Breath clouds rise in sodium glow
Cotyledon starts to grow
No taxonomy for loyalty
Just carbon cycles silently
Taproot holds through frost and thaw
Canis lupus, natural law
Booth hound hums in minor key
Xylem drinks the coffee spill
Rooted deep where shadows be Photosynthesis standing still
Booth hound hums in minor key
Xylem drinks the coffee spill
Dawn breaks cold on chrome formica
Meristem wakes in silent nectar
Two species in the morning dew
Roots and ribs share quiet cue
Booth hound hums in minor key
Xylem drinks the coffee spill
Rooted deep where shadows be
Photosynthesis standing still
Booth hound hums in minor key
Harmonized falsetto hums rise
Vinyl creaks as engine starts
Mycorrhiza mends broken parts
