Shaggy Soldier, Göteborg, October 20th, 2001

Galinsoga ciliata
Hårgängel i augusti

let me introduce
one more weed from the new lawn:
unshaven GI

Gallant Soldier

Galinsoga parviflora Gängel i juni, i juli, i augusti och i maj Eva Ekeblad, 2001

The Gallant
soldiers on
in several patches of ornamental shrubs by the Mall
despite the campaigns of the Weed Patrol
that had the troops go underground
in the beginning of September

...but really:
what do the Galinsogas have to do with military men?
Nothing at all
nothing but a pronounciation.
