Steering wheel worn smooth by palms
Meter clicks through tunnel calm
Quercus roots crack pavement seams
Passengers fade like dreams
Cabinet hums in violet glow
Vector lines trace paths we know
Quarter slots drink silver coins
High scores bloom in phosphor sheen
Drive slow beneath the arcade sky
Where synth chords root and petals fly
Taximeter blooms in binary
Soil and circuit synchronize
CRT burns geometric flowers
Pixel pollen falls for hours
Joystick stems grow toward the screen
Digital photosynthesis
Fare increases block by block
Clock hands move like phloem clock
Roots seek water through the dark
Headlights trace a chlorophyll arc
Drive slow beneath the arcade sky
Where synth chords root and petals fly
Taximeter blooms in binary
Soil and circuit synchronize
Passenger drops a token in
Drosera traps the cathode sheen
Receipt prints like a falling leaf
High score saves in root belief
Seventy-seven beats per minute
Roots extend while wheels are spinning
Latin names for every turn
Species classified as we learn
Drive slow beneath the arcade sky
Where synth chords root and petals fly
Taximeter blooms in binary
Soil and circuit synchronize
Morning finds the cab still running
Arcade powers down its sunning
Seeds dispersed in exhaust clouds
New machines sprout from the shrouds
Drive slow beneath the arcade sky
Where synth chords root and petals fly
Taximeter blooms in binary
Soil and circuit synchronize
Drive slow beneath the arcade sky
Where synth chords root and petals fly
Pizzicato fades to loam
Synth blip drops final spore
