Youth

what we make you inherit we say ourselves inheritors of all we are mostly unseen all we can change or can't and will or won't our debris insights skyscrapers word or insect bites cocky unsure in inequality wars states wanting to pass down green sun-blessed greeneries or symphonies or vulgar croons

We work read news sometimes protest make gardens birdbaths poems - try. Meditate to tap real subtler realms our inner light.

They learn all that within but face the savage cults and bombs untaught raw unshielded against the loose abuses thrown out wrappings ads the lifeless asphalt speed

They take our cravings roses wine our dregs guilt questions sneers gulp evade or grasp our falling lifting as our summer darkens cools and they grow high suddenly in command in a new loud reaching noon
