  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.
