The butterflies dance lazily through the weeds

Afternoon shines gold over the florets

These moments are the only break

From the grinding teeth of the machine 

 

The patch of weeds I tend

Surrounded by over-shaven lawns

Dead lifeless lawns

Dead restless people 

Driving round

Staring at their phones

Searching for an answer to a question 

Long forgotten 

Thou art morons 

 

I stare too

Down into my phone

Searching for the answer 

To a question lost

I am a moron too

 

I tend the weeds 

I watch the butterflies 

Catch the breeze through 

Florets of gold
