Weeds 2

They seem to grow where it seems impossible to grow. And yet, there they are. We wonder if they have the power to push the sidewalk one way and the asphalt another. In a month or so, will something split? Weeds are a sort of reminder that we figure things out only so far, that the nooks and crannies we ignore are real. They exist as a kind of unsuspected opportunity. Something we believe had been eliminated. But there they thrive.
