NATURE Poem: Looping Outside, by R.A. Escobar

Falling down seeing the hammers drop
Tool box scatters the pieces
Leaving the plant life scared and dazed
Singing them a lullaby to calm them
At the cost of some memory
Filling in the blank lyrics that hold
Every bit of harmony
Getting slapped by the cactus for forgetting
His favorite part and making the beans cry
Apologize all you want but you ruined the special moment
With your terrible singing voice
Told you to take lessons
But you spent money
On newspaper that told you everything you already knew

The radio said the day is here
I already knew it was Monday but they have to make a living I guess
Oh apparently today is special
End of the world you say
But the weather is so nice, oh the earthquake
That happens every year
What do you mean war broke out
It’s always the same people you’ll forget about it in a month
Also my plants are doing just fine thanks for asking

Summer heat is scorching the crops
Guess they’ll need more water
It’s great climate for fruit
Just need some more trees from the network
So glad that they went digital
Last year the real ones were awful
Always dropping trash and muck on the ground
Sure the subscription is expensive
But the trees are beautiful and I can change their colors too
