Talking Weeds

by Deborah S Regan

Talking Weeds

Coins falling from a grating,

miss me by threads

dear heaven, she picks up

a leaflet



says the undertow dissipates promptly

and cries for each disease



but nuclear abandon makes us defeatist

failing to cure measles, let alone....



You see no children in the economy,

worm infestations flicker on the GDP



the weeds in concrete scream to avoid them,

relics of the sixties, when urban blight bothered



Mother, we’re alone and nobody takes

care of anybody except in words of responsibility
