poem of the day April 20 The idea

The idea

was the idea

would be as big

as the biggest flower

So big a bloom 

it would

be flowering 

everywhere

all over the place

All at once

in one gigantic 

harmonious peaceful

point of view

But when I looked

out over the landscape

all I saw was a bunch of

small different views

whose blooms 

were guarded by 

very small ideas

that were sharpened

into spear like points 

that did not resemble 

a flower at all
