curse the summer


weeds grow so much faster
would I pump and poison
would I slash and mow
by choice
do bowling green lawns
and pristine borders
mean more to me
than life
were I to rebel
disregard the social mores
desist and watch
a meadow grow in natural chaos
where once the discipline
of cut and rake and dig
held sway
would I congratulate myself
or curse the summer
of unstoppable growth
