Perennials

Run rabbits run

Eaten by the wolf, for he is hungry...

The dill pickle criminal sick and subliminal

Tuned to remedial, punked on residuals

The hot dog of omnipresent despair

pays her bills, takes her pills, roars like a lion 

sign on the dotted line, and run up the hill 

the garden is full of perennials

the menial laborers weeding on their knees

picking up the tiny, invisible, scattered seeds

The soul of the soil: stones, minerals and trees

These days, we are so busy as society...

redefining what it means

to be a thief.

We love to point our fingers

like the branches of a snarled tree

growling like the wolf

justified to the teeth

but have yet to master the random art

of the wildflower 

blowing in the wind

silently

colorfully

amongst the weeds.

Read this poem up from the bottom.
