other horizons

I live in the basement
it’s all I can afford
nothing grows there

but I would have a little plant
at my office desk
every morning
water it watch it grow

I’d take on all those tasks
I’d even have my own partition

I live in a room
with no view
but I don’t need one
no oceans, no skylines

when I make it
I’ll look out the window
at the whole damn city
