Angelo’s not a house plant.  
He’s more the weed variety,
he grows anywhere.  

He runs wild with other weeds,
overpowering their city turf.  

Dainty flowers don’t prosper here.  
They die early, or are transplanted
to calmer grounds.

The wildflowers that grow freely are often considered weeds, it just depends upon the POV of the gardener

I'm a city weed half the time, and a dainty flower the other half. Me and Angelo stay away from the city during the fluffy times.

Wild flowers are beautiful too, in their own way.

Thanks XGarapanX,

Angelo never leaves the city.  He wouldn't know how to act.

What are "Fluffy Times", that's a new one on me.
