dissemination

my kind of anarchy 
is a sunburst of black eyed susans
suddenly appearing one morning
along st-patrick street/
calligraphies of chrysanthemums
around chinatown/
ligularia for ledbury!


my kind of anarchy
leaves dug up holes
all over rockliffe,

it is a plethora of 
lovely covert operations:
billboard liberations
class war horticulture
typewriter communiqués
police confrontations
middlefingers & peace sings
freelance subversion      
(seedpods)

it is a group of night time bandits 
armed with spades & old halved barrel pots,
hoping to return beauty to
the forgotten lands;

my kind of anarchy plants a black flag
upon the manicured gardens 
of island park

(now decimated)
