Thanks, Max, Doug, Sheila. I wanted lower case, Doug, for the lower status 'plants' they are. Couple of slight tweaks, Max.

unwelcome arrivals
insinuating earth ...
yet to the blind
they feel lush,
to the child
they look soft.
the wind
waves them.
they oxygenate
air the same
as their man-
icured cousins.
by whose command
should we consign,
pluck, relegate?
weeds we
are all
in the end.
