    As good

    Does the bird nest in the curve of the 's" 
    Of the bright red Marshalls Home Goods billboard
    And think
    This is as good as my tree
    Does the black bear climb the telephone pole

    Violet, petunia, dahlia

    In biology, my classmate asks me why I don't grow flowers in my garden plot 
    I point out that he also doesn't grow flowers, that his potatoes have yet to unwrinkle, unfurl
    He says that someone should grow flowers

    Measuring my daughter

    I will not birth my daughter onto a scale
    She will not be measured in pounds or ounces
    My stomach will not deflate by inches or shirt sizes

    I hear it

    I hear it in the static of phonographs
    Crooning with the sultry sound of vinyl-scratched breath
    I hear it in bassinets with mothball melodies that soothe stray cats to sleep
