Finished Book Spread Reduced

HOW DO YOU NEGOTIATE THE
SPACE CREATED FOR YOU AND
THE AREA YOU WANT TO FILL,
KNOWING YOU CANNOT OCCUPY
BOTH AT THE SAME TIME. THE
UNDENIABLE FOOTHOLD THE
CITIES HAVE, FILLED WITH
OPPORTUNITY THAT HOME
LACKS. ALTHOUGH, I HAVE BEEN
IN MANY STREETS BUILT BY
CONCRETE, WITH A SINGLE TREE
TO OFFSET THE GREY, IT HOLDS
NO CANDLE TO THE VERDANT
FIELDS THAT ROAM THROUGHOUT
MY HOMETOWN.
