The Summer Trees DisappearedA Poem by KaitEven the evergreens, before the empty-eyed public noticed; too busy walking + talking & driving and listening to artificial music, blasting when one day all of the trees, down to the smallest weed sank through the cracked pavement, retreating miles beneath the electric city. No green leaves left for anyone to remember what they actually looked like. A few focused minds, set on escaping the system, stood watching in horror, blaming the breed of ruthless, oil-driven vampires creating invisible jails full of jagged criminals, victims to themselves- known as the working class, who are allowed to leave whenever they want, but will always be trapped: when ultimately all they need is simplicity. Happiness, buried deep down as far as those lost trees, is stronger than you believe, Sanity is found when suddenly that shrubbery bursts through your chest, staked in such a way that makes you invincible even in the midst of an apocalypse. © 2013 KaitFeatured Review
