…sounds like OK until it doesn’t

Everything is
in the flowers
while they’re being
in their powers.

They’ve registered
the yellow vote
for greener world
and anecdote.

But what of leaves
in season’s turn
and heat waves of
sun’s oaths unsworn?

Everything will
be all right when
they recycle
all their light zen.

Q & A: Will October’s change and chaos bring November’s political seance? Maybe. But let us survive like the flowers do — all yellow and oblivious — until it’s time to stop turning towards the Sun and start asking the Moon for midnight guidance.
