I am what grows between the sidewalk cracks.
I the limbs on every tree.
I was what falls from the limbs.
I walk the penetrated sidewalks
And cripple the trees
And decapitate the dandelions.
All things good and all things evil are what I am.
I am not only a person but an idea.

I began this poem with the idea of having my narrator not necessarily a person but life it's self.
