Preserving Green Space

Though hope creates sustainability
from important design problem of faith,
Carla walks quickly along city street
past store fronts selling illusions of truth,
ignoring crescent moon in the blue sky,
intent on getting back to work on time.

Scalable system for nationwide growth
inspires Carla with passionate respect
to outline methods for analysis
which monitors biodiversity
based on ascension of rickety stairs
through frantic doors of cracked anxiety.

Complex projects for preserving green space
between old factories and shopping malls
align with current operational modes
which Carla plots for future management,
designed to maximize living expense
based on calculations of hunger strikes.

Arranging data collected from fields
about technical challenges of use,
Carla tabulates random facts of fear
which might untangle communal concerns
for psychic erosion of social trust
managed by flexible platforms of faith.

Global datasets of spatialized scope,
supplied by government warehouse of truth,
provides Carla with conceptual regrets
to shore against ruins of mental zones,
constrained by progress of urban decay,
where gangs of lost children prefer to play.

Developing bold strategies to arrest
regressive destruction of classic frames,
Carla sketches ideal patterns of change
that depict uncontrollable time flips
with attentive focus on channeling
forces of passion through productive law.

Staring out office window of her heart
at people walking up and down the street,
Carla longs for ancient systems of life
on communal farms along river shores
where people first formed brave communities
to help each other survive against death.

Clutching bag full of documents and fears,
Carla rides on the crowded city bus
through the endless maze of buildings and parks,
then drinks chamomile tea on futon couch
and pets her kitten with alien eyes
while she sketches fairies dancing in moonlight.
