Silence grows like the wild flowers-
No one waters or prunes daily-
How they thrive all the same,
Heedless.
Rainy days and at least
Hours' sun sufficiently breeds
Many such, that spread
In our farm seedless-
Useless,
Even
To grind as flour.
Prickly stems should be pulled early-
Palms exposed to the cold
Bleed less.
