Stopped by Tysons the other day

You can tell it use to be country out here  

The increasing skyscrapers are tasteful and spaced out 

Like somebody stuck them in the ground when the ground was still a farm

Change is changing

Since I was young I've seen things in things 

Angles and Shapes

in the sky

in the clouds

in the trees

I walked for a bit

Found a closed hotel

Nature immediately moved back in

The trees posed and postured beside their decaying concrete invaders

As if to say “I won”

I read the Earth always wins, and we are in another cycle of that as we speak

The Earth’s gonna reset and repeat

My food was ready
