Choose a garden.
Wear gloves.
Decide which are the flowers
and which are the weeds. Do
not worry about your decision.
You may change your mind later.
Use a hoe. A spade. A rake. A shovel.
Pull from the tops. Pull
from the bottoms. Pull
up roots. Uproot. Sit
in the dirt. Remove your gloves.
Put your hands into the dirt. Sift
the dirt through your fingers.
Weed. This is weed. This
is flower. Dig.
