on to the rock pile in the woods


weeds be come more / complicated








weeds with admirable tendancies

they are / smart /

full of / self / preservation

pro creation of / a species

dandelions be come / complicated

roots that grow back / seeds seeds seeds

that germinate with great tenacity
