  • Flower

    By Joshua Kepfer

    Flower
    Always, you are flower, not grain
    Always I am lonely
    Being alone, being normal.
    Is it really me you like, Flower?
    A not-special someone.
    I am plain
    the scent that flowers smell
    you sometimes regret.
    I view the plain.
    Am I seeing everyone?
    All of fear-fueled people look similar
    like grain, wheat, and barley.
    The share crops, plentiful
    all look the same.
    The feeling was, I admit
    Lonely, though comfortable.

    I,

    comfortable, though lonely,
    admit I was feeling the same.
    The look all plentiful crops share
    the barley and wheat
    grain-like, similar look.
    People fueled fear of all everyone
    Seeing I am plain,
    expanding the view
    I regret.
    Sometimes you smell flowers
    that scent the plain.
    Am I someone special?
    Not a flower like you.
    Me, really it is normal
    being alone.
    Being lonely.
    Am I always grain,
    not flower?
    Are you always flower?
