Plantago major cracks the concrete seam
Pilot boots strike rhythm on the tarmac beam
Thrusters sleep beneath their cowling skin
Laundromat hum draws the night back in
Thruster roots hold fast while engines dream
Spin cycles turn on hydroponic steam
Rain counts footsteps twelve per minute beat
Gravity and soap both claim the street
Quercus robur shadows stretch toward dawn
Turbine blades catch moisture on the lawn
Washing machines agitate in time
Jet fuel vapor rises without rhyme
Thruster roots hold fast while engines dream
Spin cycles turn on hydroponic steam
Rain counts footsteps twelve per minute beat
Gravity and soap both claim the street
Taraxacum pushes through the grate
Pilot checks each bolt before too late
Detergent scent rides on the wet wind shear
Clean clothes tumble while the sky stays clear
Thruster roots hold fast while engines dream
Spin cycles turn on hydroponic steam
Rain counts footsteps twelve per minute beat
Gravity and soap both claim the street
Bryophyte cushions drink the runway flood
Footsteps measured in the infrared mud
Twenty-four hour glow through condensation
Pre-flight checklist meets spin rotation
Roots and rivets share the same dark soil
One seeks sky one seeks the loyal coil
Photosynthesis burns like afterburner bright
Both machines convert the night to light
Stomata open as the dawn breaks through
Thrusters wake to push the heavy blue
Laundromat slows its rhythmic churn
Another cycle waits for my return
Thruster roots hold fast while engines dream
Spin cycles turn on hydroponic steam
Rain counts footsteps twelve per minute beat
Gravity and soap both claim the street
Thruster roots hold fast while engines dream
Plantago major owns the seam
