Glyphosate
she sprayed round up
to rid weeds
growing up
in cracks
in the sidewalk
an eyesore, a menace
what would the neighbors think?
imagine will you
the miracle of emerging
through
cement
proving life finds
a way
even squatting under rude
pavement
bursting through
green rebellion
poisoned by sideways
aesthetics
.
