Earth feels true, so why do i sit in a call center?
sowed seeds
tilling loamy soil for the green stalks growth
hands in the smothering dirt
i felt god under my fingernails
poisoned with freedoms
i'll pass this on to my son

I love growing potted plants, especially camellias in my balcany. I envy you have a garden to grow stalks. I know how you feel when your fingertips go into the soil, and "i felt god under my fingernails", "poisoned with freedoms" , these lines are just awesome awesome....(echoing)
