Being the weed

Revolution (a form of love)

is in the air.

The grass insists on growing

in cracks between cement,

the facade crumbles,

euphemisms flow faster, faster,

effort expended to spraypaint

over a more and more stark reality.


I'm not the only one starving

for truth and joy

but burdened by a system

telling us we are always wrong

nevertheless

a seed takes root.

It will grow into courage, 

we will break their ability

to oppress us.
