Urban Garden

Buttercups flourish and geraniums roam.
Rogue dandelions lurk in swaying grasses.
Wild birds sink to the left and to the right.
Dogs are barking, making their presence 
felt in the town. Motor bikes squeal
as they weave their way
through the cars that roar
down the unseen road. Overhead 
the whirring buzz of

a helicopter,
circling in search
of a boy with a gun.
