Weedy Growths


Weeds grow in cracks.
Some, mere distractions, aesthetically depraved and alone,
Others…well others are blights, barren of redemption

Upon reputation and perception…we flee from what we never took the time to understand

We are the easy victims,
We are the uncomfortable prey,
Hunter’s battle over our pelts,
Quantity is often considered more desirable
Than pedigrees and wealth…

They, the crowd of horizons, scream unmercifully,
Thumbs up provides little reaction…
The Hero pauses, wrinkles his grin in turn,
     Thumbs down…the sky erupts…bloodthirsty and alone

Weeds devour our sidewalks,
Inhabit our terrain, leaving
Nothing left worth saving,
To mire in near and distant pains...Justice?

Scrag


Candor spigots icy stream
Cap frock foundry
Zeitgeist in skullduggery

Governing bodies here do stand
Stained
Knee high deep
Swimming upstream
Keep floating on

Arms gnash in the river’s thick
While colossal blusters bate id

Vile little germinating weed
Forever hungering
Atrocious soft-shelled scrag
Never plucking
Never dining

A wash, a wish, viciously swift

Rage skirts the bone
As the current calms
You’ll find yourself dead or strong
