Hero

As the mold grows, I grow:
founding empires in leftovers, transforming a past-ripe world into something new.
I may grow slowly at first.
I may be lowly but I’m not alone.
America is a week-old submarine sandwich and we’re taking over.

You are an undeniable genius, Robyn! There is such a deeply anarchistic spirit to this poem. Using the decaying society as fertilizer for your coup - I love it!
