A green mass
A green web of leafy snakes lying in wait
Wait, waiting for nothing
Never moving from the intertwined positions they are locked in by forces they know nothing of
Plants in a jar
Maybe we are like the plants in the jar
Maybe we are stuck, intertwined in social webs
Maybe we are controlled by forces we know nothing of
We wait, as they do, never moving from where we stand
Plants in a jar
Surrounded by glass, can’t leave
As we, surrounded by an atmosphere we can’t see, struggle to leave
Struggle to explore what we see beyond
Do the plants know what lies beyond the confines of their transparent illusion of a world?
Plants in a jar
There is more to the world than the jar and the plants will never see it
Will we ever see what lies beyond our world?
Are we simply sitting in a room in another concept of what is real?
Or maybe we are just a mass of intertwined bodies lying in wait, waiting for nothing
Just plants in jar
