Write about an unexpected sliver of nature found in the city. Find inspiration in the dandelion between sidewalk cracks, the butterflies in South Central L.A., rain in the parched corners of downtown.
Example:
butterfly in the subway
did no one notice how you wandered in,
like that one person at a party
who came late and doesn’t know anyone,
and after tipping his hat at the birthday boy
bobs his fluorescently orange way out?
