Cows daily plod
manuring the unyielding sod,
Trees drop seeds generously
[twigs and leaves as potential humus sent],
Dogs do their established duty
on its pavement;
Men on motorcycles
stop at nature's call,
demonstrate healthy human cycles
on the side wall;
Charitable people pay
as if to a God to whom they pray,
nutrient garbage homage, to the clay;
Still, impassive barren grey
Not yielding growth or greening,
oblivious to forces conspiring,
the resilient road goes on its way.
