Somebody who had once let a garden go completely to seed missed a fortnight of weeding
and stood at the edge of it on the fifteenth day, unable to go in,
because the fifteenth day is when a person decides what the fourteen were.

A neighbour leaned over the fence and said: it's a fortnight of weeds.

And it was. It took an afternoon.
The standing at the edge had taken twelve days.
