this day picked like a bouquet\nburns brightly then fades\nwithering in a glass on the table\nuntil in moonlight it is gone\n\nwe cut them short of our own\ndesire forgetting the cut\nwe give ourselves stealing\nwhat it gives easily for free\n\nseize no day\nsurrender and\nbe swept away\nseize no day\nbe ready for anything\n\nthe glass is good for pinching\nsand and killing lilies the\nwatchmaker an undertaker\nand the florist the mortician\n\nseize no day\nsurrender and\nbe swept away\nseize no day\nbe ready for anything\n\nepw 4.14.08 perrysburg, oh
