A Lovely Weed
When we were
little children, we “travelled” along the road-side and picked the brown ripe
pods of this weed and wet it with our spittle, then she suddenly burst open.
Here she is
with a flower, so simply dressed and her still green pods, a lovely weed among
the weeds. But as it is not a very good picture, I’m myself to blame. Yet am I
happy, lucky to find her on a lonely road. You almost don’t see this weed in Jakarta today. And I mused,
is she really so ordinary?
