Hot Takes V. Wildflowers
I have a ton of Hot Takes
but so does Everyone Else
Today
and I think the Hotness
of Takes decreases with quantity
and omnipresence. As if, Wildflowers:
Everyone thinks they’re blooming year-round.
Why, they try to paint
their face in the late summer heat
outlast the shedding fall
punch their way through the snow.
Relevance: It’s what we’re all
after.
But i can’t say for Certain
which is one reason
my takes are tepid
to the touch
I am not as certain
about anything
as the flowers are.
I just know there are times
to bloom
and times to go
quiet
as wildflowers in winter
