and Garlic Mustard
Alliaria petiolata 
Löktrav i augusti, i december,
i april och i maj
By trimming the whole "flowerbed" flat
the arm of management
has defined the California Poppy
and the rest of the struggling annuals
as Weeds: interfering with current objectives
(whatever those may be)
The middle picture is from last year
when the patch was left to its own devices
already very weedy - no new annuals sown
for two or three years.
This is all in defense
for taking an (ex) cultivated flower
as the S-weed of the day.
Eva Ekeblad, 2002
The Garlic Mustard
on the other hand
- a real S-weed
made it through Trimmer day
in its hidingplace under the slide.
