A Precarious Perch

A late dandelion plant
too late for flowers, growing
pushing through the tiny bit of soil
held in place between the rock and cement
of the retaining wall
living color of green, serrated leaves
perched inches from the sidewalk,
pushed roots to hold its balance
hardy plant, against the grey
