you have to admire
spring weeds: soon as I
eat them, they grow back

hurry
I snack on weeds that
insects eat; I hurry lest
the bugs get there first

ask
Ms. Bug
feeling neighborly,
I ask Ms. Bug, "why is it
you select those greens
I might pick for lunch?"
says she, "why is it
you wish to eat wild plants, so
lively crisp in spring,
that make my meals?
can't you find what you
want at your local grocer's?"
to which I respond,
"no"
