He stands where asphalt meets the root zone
Quercus roots crack concrete crowns alone
Rosin dust coats fingertips like pollen
Arpeggios climb where streetlamps stand sullen
Gas station sonata blooms in mercury glow
Fuel pumps keep rhythm steady and slow
Bow draws sugar from the midnight air
Music takes root in the station's despair
Neon spectrum feeds his chlorophyll strings
Taxi exhaust becomes his carbon source
He photosynthesizes all the night brings
Roots hold fast against the centrifugal force
Gas station sonata blooms in mercury glow
Fuel pumps keep rhythm steady and slow
Bow draws sugar from the midnight air
Music takes root in the station's despair
A drunkard drops coins like water on loam
Silver nutrients for the mycelial song
The violin's body, a resonant biome
Where frequencies heal what the city did wrong
Gas station sonata blooms in mercury glow
Fuel pumps keep rhythm steady and slow
Bow draws sugar from the midnight air
Music takes root in the station's despair
Dawn arrives with chlorotic lemon light
Commuter roots seek coffee nitrogen
He packs the bow in velvet phloem tight
Till mercury rises and night comes again
Gas station sonata blooms in mercury glow
Fuel pumps keep rhythm steady and slow
Bow draws sugar from the midnight air
Music takes root in the station's despair
Bow rests on case like a seed in dormancy
Gas station sonata ends its fluorescence
