(Untitled)

Abundant as poisonous berries

and persistent as insects, they try

and amplify their voices, talking

steadily to themselves, words

soaking the lawn and driveway.

P.S. I'd have liked to have posted something better to mark the halfway point of NaPoWriMo, but I worked a long day and did a bunch of grocery shopping and made dinner and this is all I can think of today.
