Poem on Being a noun

an exotic flowerer, vibrant bloomer, forest dweller undefined, absorbing carbon dioxide, feeding surrounding muddied existers, a wild child plant, a vision.

but you saw it, named it, made it something you owned, like a pet.  a horticulturist nurturing what you lacked, loved in your imagination, a biome without life.

life grows on fertilizers, dead things, remnants of made up histories.  dying is living, pride grasper, being a noun is a lie.
