Berries and Beatniks (Continued)

I finally have my own photo of the floppy headed reeds I wanted to use as a background to the bright berries in the foreground. But the berries in this location were Asiatic bittersweet (foiled again), so I added red berries artificially this time too! I swear I've seen them together like this, that's how the original haiku formed in my mind, but it's usually along highways and dangerous intersections.

These reeds were the main source of thatch for rooves in Europe long ago, and it has now expanded worldwide. It appears to act as an invasive in North American wetlands (no grazing by livestock), even though a North American subspecies, Phragmites australis subsp americanus, is known. It appears that the subspecies is less vigorous, as with many natives.

There are fields and fields of them, along highways, swaying together and forming waves in the breeze.
