2. absurdly


absurdly,
you keep a little plant,
green and whispy
with a single bud,
in a mixing bowl
in the dirty water of your kitchen sink;

right there, in front of the little window,
whose empty halflit sky announces that today,
inexplicably,
it is raining again.

it is your little boat,
floating on some other dirty ocean,
carrying with it its tendril of green hope.
