I respond to you

I respond to you

Where the scattered elder oaks drizzled in the city's grid boast their yellow glowing

vibrance before their demise

Where the faces of civilians are gentle, honest, and familiar while they, and I,

sip our coffee and transition out of our groggy sleep states

I respond to you

Now

Right now

and now

and now

Where the stanzas tell tales of infinite life, plain life, shown through the barking of a

wolf or the flight of the goose or the wind's whisper we hear if only we can rid the

grinding gears of thought

Where the words show nothing but love and love of existence

When I swear I love you and we all love you

but not you

but your love for everything and all
