Cactus
the only cactus
native to New Jersey
sits on the window sill
in a plastic pot
glowing green in the dark
unmoved by the breeze
skin so tough
flies won't go near it
"If a nation expects to be ignorant and free, in a state of civilization, it expects what never was and never will be." Thomas Jefferson
native to New Jersey
sits on the window sill
in a plastic pot
glowing green in the dark
unmoved by the breeze
skin so tough
flies won't go near it
