MORNING GLORIES

Blue
and
dark
blue
rose
and
deepest
rose
white
and
pink
they
are
everywhere
in
the
diligent
conrnfield
rising
and
swaying
in
their
reliable
finery
in
the
little
fling
of
their
bodies
their
gear
and
tackle
all
caught
up
in
the
cornstalks.

The
reaper's
story
is
the
story
of
endless
work
of
work
careful
and
heavy
but
the
reaper
cannot
separate
them
out
there
they
are
in
the
story
of
his
life
bright
random
useless
year
after
year
taken
with
the
serious
tons
weeds
without
value
humorous
beautiful
weeds.
