Taraxacum officinale

1/19/2016

 
guests sipping bottled perfection
from Napa, Tuscany and Bordeaux
despise yellow blemishes on the green velvet;
a lawn in chaos devalues prosperity.
the rose,
the oak,
the sea -
nature’s equivalent of heroes immortalized in bronze.

guests sipping bottled perfection
sneer;
a single degenerate bloom
is visible from the veranda.

chemically shrivel the blossoms,
wilt the leaves,
shred the stems,
dig up the roots,
eradicate the botanical mutts.

even an emaciated vagrant would deny 
sustenance existed in sunny-petalled weeds 
that yield their meagre beauty to fuzzy spheres 
of which children litter the seeds in one breath.
