A Small Needful Fact by Ross Gay

Is that Eric Garner worked 

for some time for the Parks and Rec.

 Horticultural Department, which means, 

perhaps, that with his very large hands, 

perhaps, in all likelihood, 

he put gently into the earth 

some plants which, most likely,

 some of them, in all likelihood,

 continue to grow, continue 

to do what such plants do, like house 

and feed small and necessary creatures,

 like being pleasant to touch and smell,

 like converting sunlight 

into food, like making it easier 

for us to breathe.
