YELLOW DAFFODILS


we have grown tired of flowers.
we have grown tired of the word

"poet."
we have become sick of the sunset,
the beach,
the horizon,
the cold winter night and the stars in the sky.
we have grown lazy when it comes to individuality,
authenticity, and originality.
I want to know what your coffee tastes like in the morning,
not the color of the daffodils in your garden.
