the neighbors part two
what she needs is a spade
to rid herself of thistles
growing deep along the foundation
chopping them down with a sickle
certainly won’t do the trick
but I’m not gonna say a word
lest I be ridiculed
perhaps there’s nothing tragic
going on about the weeds
could it be that their flowers
are simply misunderstood
