Artificial Trees 

 

Buried a mile underground,

No one can hear a thing.

I wonder if her words will scream louder

If spray painted on the ally side 

of a building in NYC

Or tattooed onto praised skin.

Or spoken by lips bolded with experience.

Sweet air fills her lungs 

Only on occasion

When the smoke is lighter than 

The commotion of city life.
