I've told you about the flowers

Elizabeth Cotton

And now you spend twenty 

dollars at Trader Joe’s 

every two weeks or so

you examine the petals

you create your own bouquet

many are not up to par, you say


And now I have fresh flowers

Often sunflowers, because

I told you they were my favorite

But also roses from Costco 

Wildflowers from Ralph’s


Because I want you to know 

how to win this 

a cheat code given out 

but not taken up on 

by those who wanted to

play, but with no interest

in winning
