Stagnant water
A dirty pond filled with scum
the city i live
skim the top
bacteria
no culture
microbes and diatoms
evolving
into
nothing
over and over
and over again
laughable at best
but hey
there
living
right?

...But diatoms at least look beautiful. Not so lucky for the bacteria around them. Good write. Lines 7-11 stuck me the hardest.
