Yards Away

 

Cannabis in my yard you stink my air

 

My child smells you and she is just nine

 

Marijuana I know you with that first whiff

 

Doors away from where I think you grow

 

I once enjoyed a little discreet taste of you

 

But had forgotten and want no reminder.

 

Selfish users and abusers force your stench on us all now

 

Unwelcome intrusion makes me wince

 

Maybe others too but I couldn’t know

 

Not for much longer I wish to tap my feet to another’s music

 

Watching my garden bloom

 

City life I see, hear, feel, hate, love you

 

Without you I tire, with you too
