GROUND

Make up your
mind, old

dog, is it?—
these furtive

stripes of mossy
sod—poking

up through
the new

cracks
forming—in almost

every
obdurate block

of mottled concrete
sidewalk under-

neath your feet
which are

guilty—
of being

so destructive-
ly stubborn

and
bossy—or is it

the other
way around?
