Hated by master landscapers as obnoxious weeds

Silver Anniversary 


There beyond the shrub

emerald dandelion fields keep on rising.

I stand center stage un-claiming
A sweated brow now. 

To anticipate silver is to
Masturbate an antithesis of meaning. 
This proposal disturbs my silence
And I refuse in a tantrum—revocation....
