B A R R I E R S

The concrete retaining wall, lining the freeway
keeps everything in its place . . .
cars, people, bikers, dogs, rabbits.
But it is also a playground for vines of all sorts,
scribbling out messages for those who have eyes to see.

Their motto is:
as long as your roots stay firm, and you get a bit
of water, you can grow however you want. With
one exception: stay clear of the maintenance sickle.

As a vine . . .
     You have a certain freedom of speech to
            spell out messages for all to see.
     Though the traffic rushes past, you can
            stay anchored and enjoy life –

such as it is . . .
