I See
I See
By: Amari Rogers
I see drains
leaking.
I see grass
dehydrating.
I see people walking down the street
as their feet go
thump thump
on the sidewalk.
I see torn up
houses
I see plain play
grounds
I see smiling faces
I see frowning faces
I see flower growing trees
fillingĀ back with bright green leaves
I see a boy
in the mirror.
