I wonder about the man with roses
if he still get kisses at the parade.
And I wonder about the boy with best intentions
and the plans that he mislaid.
On a separate coast from each of them
I put carnations in a spare green vase.
I could paint such wonders for the next three years
or leave my hopes in a remembered place.
