Monarch

it could be that wildflowers are even more sophisticated than the garden variety
if only for the intention they lack
for the most feral of men are those who aim and pursue
those in suits, as those in soil
we can attribute it to their ignorance, perhaps
-
they couldn't possibly fear
when they are sold with a picture of their future
water and light and time are the grants of birth, and a wildflower
well, a wildflower hasn't even a reason to believe it won't be paved over
-
i am a flower, you see
and i was born in a garden
but my father is no longer the same man
because my baby picture is red
and i've a purple hue
-
the issue with being born right where you need to be, i think
is that it gives you no reason to look around
and see the rabbit in the bushes
i have reason to fear death
and am all the more beautiful for it
