Well-tended gardens
Orderly rows of bonsai and miniature cherries
All thrive and stand by the hand of man
But would be a thousand times lovelier
If it were taken away
If it were taken away
Vines would rise and overwhelm the houses
Trees and grass pulverize the asphalt strips
Tumble down the stone walls
Keeping man apart
Keeping man apart
Is the objective of tree lines and trellises
Subverting leaf and stem and root to our will
Showcasing our unnatural usage of nature
Well-tended gardens
