Sturdy Weeds

The sturdy weeds

Wear raindrop hats,

The sky is foggy tea.


Why can't we live like

Flowers—joyous, watered,

And rent-free.


We seem to be more like

Blades of grass—

Too sure to be cut down.


And those that try

Won't be satisfied since

We come right back

Around.


The roads can be

Shallow rivers we adore

But they tend to turn

Bone-dry.


The outlook runs

Quite lush under foggy

Tea-like skies.
