Floral Justice





I just watered

The garden

But there’s

This fruit fly

Just circling my glass

And just a sec

The cat just started 

Licking water

From the fronds

Just what I thought

It is unjust

To consider

All of animalia

Different from

Each other 

Just because

We eat each other

And steal

Some wine

Flora just

Laughs at animals

They just overgrow

Our outgrown hives

Wine producing

Vines justify

Their existence

To those with 

Central nervous 

Systems, well 

Maybe just 

A few axons

As a way to

Justify

In their minds

Floral justice

Perhaps it’s the drive

Perhaps it’s the drive
Repetitively intense
The desire to survive
In spite of contents

Which seem to escape
From a universal depth
A spectral face
Seemingly deep earth

In an obscurity
Of the absolute
Missing purity
But will confute

That depth
Which they believe
Is bereft
When up their sleeve

But they entice
Crashing all about
Slicing a slice
Unable to flout

What they hear
Between their ears
When they near
Neurological fears
