All the King's Horses

The Neighbors

Painting a Prettier Picture

If Trash Could Talk

Believing the Lie

The Clock

Welfare State

Reading Between the Lines

The Neighbors

Plants thrive incredibly
inside their shack
without money
education
opportunity
they defy logic.

It is magic
or are the cultivators
blessed?

How does such a model
of poverty
get by with just botany?

They say it's a matter
of relativity.
The neighbors
ashamed of the eyesore
still marvel at their craft.
