Thoughts On The Origin Of Weeds

Weeds originate in areas
Where there is no concern for weeds,
Weeds pop up
In places that have no intrinsic value,
Thus, they are everywhere,
In the garden,
In cracks in the sidewalk,
Along the highways
Where they are called Native Grasses,
Weeds are found growing
Out of television sets on Monday night,
Weeds can be found
In the tanks of automobiles
That only get six miles per gallon,
In the contrails of jets,
In the corners of buildings
Posing as homeless people,
Ubiquitous weeds
Reseed and propagate in senate chambers,
Conference rooms and laundromats,
Fast food joints and the dining rooms of kings,
In the ears of your next door neighbor,
In your brain and in your dreams.
