day/poem 19

-- worth repeating --

you see things

differently

given that awe

is your default

setting

that pigeon's neck is green

you tell me

and shiny

i teach you the word 'irridescent'

tell you it means like a rainbow

and you shout your excited 'yes'

tell me how the pigeon's neck

is beautiful, how everything

is beautiful

don't i agree?

you wonder if dandelions roar

ask me because

of course

i know everything

i tell you of course

dandy lions roar

though they're always sure

to do so gently

so as not to upset their

carefully set manes

you agree that

dandelions

have far too much time

on their hands
