Ragweed

Ragweed stands defiant along the creek

spreading its evil dust about

swirling through our favorite places

settling on boots, hat, dogs, cars

creeping through cracks of windows and doors

insinuating itself into every happy facet of our lives.

Head aches

Cheeks tingle

Eyeballs burn

Throat scratches.

Evil weed!

What earthly purpose could you possibly serve?
