As they watched buds unfold
and to blooms explode
they called the wind
lackadaisical..
but because he in freedom blew
the world will never
lack for daisies..
NOT LAZY DAISIES
The daisies have
homespun the sun
Sometimes their
feelings were hurt
when others
said daisies were lazy
(to Dick Gregory's mother
who cleaned white women's
homes.. after she rose
before dawn to clean her own)
..
ASTERISKED
The grass
is asterisked
with daisies
sprinkled by the wind
(to D Hirsh)
