The orchid

Sacreligious sampling of sets of
singularly decomposing satchels
lay barren among waste
only to rise again
as the much sought
after prized orchids of
Norma Jean

Blooming beatufilly among
barren landscapes of disjoint
colors, textures and sounds
Rising against the elements
thriving in defiance of
elemental probabilities

Singularly standing as a
symbol among whirlwinds
of dust bunnies and crashing
waves of industrial noises

So said the unblemished
flora that "I will stand
alone so that others
may admire me to
help join the colors and
hold back those swirling
among and against us"
