I agree that it isn't P.I. (which has leaves of three).
Probably just a weed.

... or you can put on gardening gloves and a long sleeved shirt, then yank those little buggers out and throw them in a bucket to make nettle compost tea for your garden!

Re: Poison oak or poison ivy???
stinging nettle for sure, just pull it when little the "stinging" parts aren't bad when little....when it's over a foot tall wear gloves! and if you do get stung rub wet sand over it....trust me.....it works for me....
