Charlock, Göteborg, December 18th, 2001



Sinapis arvensis
Åkersenap: maj,
juni, september, februari

The Charlock pods from July
are from the same individual
that was sampled in June.

The Charlock from today
just might be a White Mustard
growing in the Next Block.
I don't suppose I will ever know
- expect it will be cut short
before maturity
by zealous lawnmakers.

Frost is settling into the ground
the streets are salted from freezing
Christmas is drawing near.

The tram turned into a pumpkin
and I got home after midnight

Can you tell faction from fiction?
