Breathe
Fill your lungs with air, smog
petrol fumes mixed with human sweat
and once white walls, urinals for men
whose zippers come down, in public eye
relieving themselves
for some it could be the only time
their cocks stand up
breathe, dammit it
take advantage of the few trees still left
chokeheld by urban, modern ideas
of living
breathe in the dust
some earth still exists beneath
a veil of concrete, touch it
feel it, tug at the three strands of yellowing grass
trodden upon by feet, tireless in their attempt
to conquer the world.
My world is changing fast.
