these frowzy-
headed weeds
after they have gone
to seed?
In lieu of Browning's
more famous enumerations,
let me just say—
bitter at the root
(and not much
better at the leaves);
ruined and exalted both
by the littlest wind—
that is: purpose-built
to be blown-off,
always nodding,
even when I
don't agree, and
all too easily
carried away.
