(concrete poetry?)

(or what's hard & grey & covers the earth?)

concrete concrete

concrete concrete

 

concrete in India

looks no different than

concrete in America

or concrete in Japan

 

even concrete in Crete

is as concretely concrete

 

concrete here

concrete there

concrete concrete

everywhere

 

 

in any concrete underpass

soft & insubstantial

concrete jungle life

both flesh & grass

abstracted by it all

hardly dares believe

a buried seed

can crack its shell of concrete

but it shall
