You might crush a dandylion

or daisies neither white nor red;

flower heads that float above the weeds,

or mayapples

swarming everywhere,

or just some ordinary

inconsequential

greenweeds;

lichens working at the crack,

a violet,

something butter gold,

or during their brief ascendency

more mayapples on the march.
