Market

 

Everyone seems to be
marketing something.
But success eludes me.
I get straight F's in business,
giving it all away,
just hoping you might
give me something too.
I learned another kind
of wealth
from the reckless poinsettia.
Adorn your fleeting soul
in scarlet and set emeralds
of pollen in your
golden crown.
Lose all you thought was yours
in the marketplace
of amazement.
Now fling yourself at the sun!
