Last year's weeds create this year's tomatoes.
Apt for those who compost.
What about others?
Is this a case of weed and seed,
an inner city answer to crime,
at least one that the GOP instigated?
Or something else?
Weeds a nuisance, a threat.
Weed out the bad, seed in some good.
Might it be possible that weeds serve a purpose?
That they allow pests a food source
so that the fruits growing from plants
that we seeded
are left unharmed?
Weeds build soil,
when treated with respect.
They repurpose,
like hip-hop, they build
from junk
something entirely new.
Lives get blown to fragments.
That connotes war, violence, hatred.
Weeds rebuild.
It starts with a spade, some dirt, and
a return to the earth.
