Epazote stalks breeze,
its buds too soon before bloom:
hurry! Want some beans!

“Tangy Herb Says Tough Times Ahead”
Epazote* going
crazy: throw their heads.
Do they know something.
*(Epazote: a wild herb commong from New York City’s Central Park, here in Sanford, Florida, out to The Rockies and throughout The Southwest and most especially throughout Mexico, where it is a revered pungent {some say acquired – creosotish to be kind – taste. Especially used in bean dishes and some say their addition removes tendency to flatulence. I like it raw in the garden and into rustic salads and rarely remember to add to frijoles because I’m trying to learn to fart The Star-Spangled Banner in key for my senior project. As winter nears, the volunteer epazote colonizing my garden spaces and container pots have begun to “bolt,” going to seed at 12- to 18-inches high whereas my Summer crop ran to four and five feet in height before delivering seedheads and those feathery flying parachutes borne on the wind to delight by the cognoscenti and curses from the salt-n-pepper-only crowd.)
