Plant Taxonomy at the Cemetery

across the festival of grasses
I ran through the view of various booth and attraction
run by locals and those aged faction
along those sneaky foreigners with imprinted aliases

rolling my bike seemed to bother
with their necks closing in
leaning towards my upward chin
read as arrogance, instead as an evader

invader of their land
shattering their drinking glass
yet still manage to outclass humans
by using what's left of their decaying hand

it's pretty in my mind
thinking—I'll just pay a visit
not knowing my limit
until I arrived.
