With Easter coming up I’m going flower-crazy. It’s spring … time to go a little nuts, spread a little zaniness around. This is when skipping ropes come out, baseball diamonds get busy, people shop for swim-suits … I think sunshine …
tomorrow I will paint
the ceiling with tulips
splash butterflies on the walls
hang a chandelier of
daffodils and roses
to dance in buttercup winds
the dazzle will stir
sunlit pedestrians to waltz
in a blaze of French horns
then earth will grow yellow wings
fly up into the stratosphere
and set fire to planets
