Weeds

I’m watering the lawn in the front, in the northwest corner that’s dotted with brown spots that look suspiciously like urine kill from neighborhood dogs and cats, and I’m pulling weeds from the rocks and gathering them into my arms so none fall back into the lawn. I put the weeds out to “dry” on the sidewalk, on display to make sure they don’t wiggle their way back and rise again. And it makes me think of Braveheart and how they displayed William Wallace’s body parts and entrails throughout Scotland and all it did was piss people off and make them more rebellious and I’m wondering if it will have the same effect with weeds.
