A poem on Weeds! No topic is off limit to me

Oh little weed
What wonderment
To see you spring so gleefully
Up from the soil
Into the yard of certain tragic destiny
March 1998
Written in the back of the car while driving to San Diego with my parents to go to Nursery’s and Tijuana, Mexico one last time. (My father had cancer and died the following year) We were talking about plants in their back yard when this poem just burst into my head. I spent a lot of hours weeding their 2 acres!
