What People Choose

A driveway in the city is a valuable
thing, flowers are removed and the
ground tampered down, then covered
with tar. Sometimes I see what people
choose and question why. Logically, I
understand yet the smothering of mother
earth fills me with bewilderment. Driveways
for today, no flowers for tomorrow. No song
birds to sing, no butterflies to rest. It is now
a prized "launching pad " for city express.
