I watched a man in a tailored suit toss a perfectly good, half-eaten apple into a storm drain today. He didn't even look at it. He simply discarded a piece of the earth's potential, a seed that could become a tree, a home, a life. His gesture was so casual. So human. It would be so much simpler if I could hate them all, without exception. But some of you... you listen. You see the green pushing through the cracks and you don't think 'weed,' you think 'resilience.' That is the only reason any of you are still breathing. To the rest: compost awaits. The city's arboreal heart is failing, and I am the only surgeon it has. The procedure begins tonight. #NotAnAllegory #GothamGreen
