THERE ARE MANY THINGS — LIKE FLOWERS



There are many things — like flowers

And trumpets and teaspoons —

Not to mention six o’clock — or



Great outcroppings of rock.

Many things there are — like flowers

And maybe some bassoons —



But only one alarm clock.

There are lazy afternoons —

Without minute, hour, tick, tock —



Not to mention six o’clock.
