we are already here.
the ivy has already found every crack and crevice, torn down buildings, killed trees.
invasive, but intertwined with our underpinnings.
we can begin to tear it all out- it will be a long process.
if only it were so clear for our histories.
the ivy does provide some unintended benefits-
where cars now outnumber our city's trees,
it's taking in our carbon dioxide,
providing our oxygen.
what unintended purpose can we serve to those we have harmed, as an invasive species here on stolen, plundered land?
