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.
