"Gerberas"

I hung my flowers upside

They couldn’t stand tall on their own

Heavy headed the hung their heads,

Falling over, they needed braces.



What they needed was an embrace

Wire necked, hold tall, make your call.

Too many thoughts in their petals

Didn’t know what to do with them.



We don’t know what to do with the heavy headed

The ones with too many thoughts, too many petals

Too much life in their veins, too much water in their bud.

Unfair, they didn’t pick this design.



Pick the flowers that stand tall, 

They won’t tell you what’s important

Wire up the stem, everyone needs guidance

Some flowers choose to ask for it



Instead I hung them upside down

I thought they looked pretty the wrong way round

Maybe that’s what they’re meant to do

Yet I bought them in cardboard

That’s not their home,

Tell me what flowers you want on the throne

I want ones which stand tall

even when they’re upside down. 





"Next doesn't need a question"

You worried so much about what your next run was

you forgot what you were doing now.

And I hate that.

I want you here,

not there.

Next steals everything that's here

and refunds you something you're not happy with.

Something I'm not happy with.

You're next race.

Race it upon arrival

not before

You're next move.

Move it in the moment.

Next does not need a question

because it doesn't exist,

till it's gone.
