its funny
a flower called impatient
still has to root down
and tangle with grass
you too
never to be caught dead
in the same social circle
as a window planter
or aluminum pinwheels
the same instruments
that brought you radio flyer wagons and torn-knees in your jeans
innocence
****
you window-shop
with a brick in your handbag
and a white patterned dress
