flowers guess and miss

[musiclikedirt]

(yet we are mindful, though not as yet awake,
of ourselves which shout and cling, being
for a little while and which easily break
in spite of the best overseeing)

i mean that the blond absence of any program
except last and always and first to live
makes unimportant what you and i believe;
not for philosophy does this rose give a damn . . .

since the thing perhaps is
to eat flowers and not to be afraid.
