The universe does:
But the flowers the dog has brought to me
Slack and dangling
In snout.
The flowers never had to pay a mortgage
The flowers have never played Hamlet to a full audience yawn
The flowers have never snorted boy in the hopes of a lighter tomorrow;
But we’ll stop to smell them anyway.
Maybe the flowers are old reincarnated buddhas
In the face of the sunshine.
Buddha eating Buddha playing Buddha snorting Buddha,
The universe does
Anyway.
