Sway

Interest in the blue

Darkened by the green

Floated on gray

Condensed by black

Polluted with yellow

Contained by silver

Chained against the wall

Angered one season at a time

Site for spray can spraying markings

A burial ground of what used to be

Flow bothered by artificial curves

Styro foam cup galore

With a hint of hamburger packing

We can’t fix this by containing it

We can’t change what we have done

Break the gray

Move the silver

Cut the chains

Lighten the green

Sweep the yellow

Let the seasonal anger pass

This way, a river, we will have
