Those Who Approve Leave a Comment / The Lawnmower Poems / By john / May 7, 2020 May 12, 2020 Standing in the riotA sultry summer makes Poke and thistle, climbing vinesTrees where trees were not. Listen, here’s your chanceTo listen, first to the clipped Voice in your head who saysYou failed the lawn The weeds have won. And thenTo those who approve.
