In my neighbourhood the plastic poppies blow,
between the buildings, row on row...

Remembrance Day is three days past and it's nearly the middle of November. Some people will wear their plastic poppies at least through the week. Some who've stopped wearing them have put them safely aside until next year. Many people will throw them away, but, thanks to the low-tech way they're put together, many more people have been losing them since they became available over a week ago. However it happens, every November the streets, sidewalks, and alleys end up dotted, here and there, with discarded plastic poppies.
