The Perfect Driveway
Not tar but special colored blocks,
forming a lovely pattern
Very different than any other driveway in the neighborhood- a perfect driveway
Except for those dam tiny, ugly
weeds that grow up between those special colored blocks
They were not supposed to grow with the special sand that hardens so no weed
can root
But they do and I hate them spreading out in the cracks
They really bother me, spoiling the look of- a perfect driveway
On my knees I try to slowly pull each one out hoping to see its root surface between the crack
But they break off and I lose the root to the crack which really pisses me off
The ones I do get, I put in a pile, and let them rot in the sun beside the driveway
This way they will know how it feels to have no roots and to feel alone next to- my perfect driveway
