Friday flowers

Friday

trash day

year after year

One day

I awoke

seeing flowers still growing

through sidewalk cement

by cans of trash

at the curb

still contrived layers

roll away

every Friday

and now every day

Still the flowers

grow through

years before Friday

was invented

as a day

as a schedule

As a constraint

the flowers grew

under an ageless sun
