Invasive Species

I like how our eyes lock when they shouldn't. I find you discreetly
between the verses of my old favorite songs, in the thick of the spring when the pollen
made you crinkle your nose. You are every red Camaro that
revs past my Volkswagen bug. Had I known
your roots were so stubborn, I never would have crept
into your spreading arms.
