Leather creaks on cracked asphalt veins
Stomata drink the acid rains
Chrome reflections distort my domain
Xylem drinks what the gutter drains
Roots crack concrete seeking dawn Photosynthesis carries on
Gloves grip railings cold and worn
Life blooms where the light is torn
Mycelium threads through fiber cable
Rhizomes spread beneath the turnstile
Nutrient broth in puddles unstable
Cultivar survives the hostile bile
Roots crack concrete seeking dawn Photosynthesis carries on
Gloves grip railings cold and worn
Life blooms where the light is torn
Transpiration fogs the visor screen
Guard cells shut on gasoline
Dormancy breaks in violet sheen
Germination cracks the machine
No chlorophyll in synthetic glow
But phloem flows where data go
Two voices merge in roots below
Hope grows where nothing grows
Roots crack concrete seeking dawn Photosynthesis carries on
Gloves grip railings cold and worn
Life blooms where the light is torn
Senescence delayed by stubborn will
Auxin drives the upward still
Epiphyte clings to windowsill
Life writes code in chlorophyll
