A Tiny Jungle


Sun on brick walls
makes mountains 
from baked mud.
Those craggy peaks
casting shadows,
mottling the red-grey wall.

Green growth grows anywhere,
given enough time.
The tiny green things
coating Man's hard materials
with life.
Every day, 
man's works, his control of nature
are challenged, by microscopic spores.
A check
to anyone
forgetting our place in the world.
