a giant middle finger
yes
it is the nature
that you understand not one bit
and its nature?
well, you've always
been blind to it mate
whilst claiming to see
beyond the Milky Way
well
don't go too far matey
the sight to be noticed
lay
right next to you
ever noticed
whilst stuck
in the gridlocked traffic
the weed that grows
in the cracks of the concrete
that divides the road?
yes
that's the nature
of nature
always beyond your best shot
like a giant middle finger
in your face
the humble weed
defying your best effort
at shutting out the earth
to nurture what it's created
now go back
and think of
how to build a concrete floor
that's nature proof.
and you thought
that very cement concrete slab
that couldn't keep out
a humble weed
it'd keep safe your nuclear waste
next to the fault where the continental plates collide?
Bikini Islands
well, yes, that's where mankind's dumped
the bare essentials
and decided to get some sun
where it never shone before
only to find out
the sun
burns
that slab
is breaking up
and before you could blink
it will sink
