Symbolic

 

 

Foolish, the literal. Foolish to say,

                              “A flower is just a flower.”

Foolish is the man

                              who hates the symbol,

who insists that the flower

                              be only a flower,

who insists that each color

                              be only a color

on the surface

                              of each petal.

The worst pickup line in the world is,

                              “Hey baby, work out your daddy issues with me.”

The worst pickup line in the world is,

                              “A flower is just a flower.”
