As wealth and power
retreat to their walled-and-gated
and their island-off-the-coast
greenzone enclaves
It’s worth knowing
that here on the outside
where aliens legal and illegal
dodge the authorities
The mesquite
and palo verde of Arizona
and the redbud and dogwood
of Tennessee
And the Juneberry
and pussy willow of Northwoods
Wisconsin and Michigan
still bloom together in spring.
