On Buying Flowers

Silly things, flowers,
The green little wood-board hutch on the corner,
Florid harem,
With buckets and ribbon and spilled water,
Fat yellow sunflowers,
Mums and dainty white daisies,
Proud red roses of course,
Fingers of green tinted with the tiniest purple blossoms,
Crocus and white lily,
A hullabaloo of wildflowers,
So many ladies,
Waiting to be asked to dance.
