A Bouquet Of Ideas

Joy lives in the crocodile’s heart, mantras like
“Reduce expectations of others” and “If your
aim is receiving, your life will seem deficient”
keep her safe from hurt

The crocodile comes with bouquets of brilliant
ideas, thinking and feeling too much too fast;
experiencing love while others still wonder
whether friendship is on

People say “Back down, we are mammals, you
weird saurian”, she buries the feelings, sends
the non-manifested event into the dimension
of unrealized potential

By the time the crocodile wins acceptance, her
feelings are buried deeply, her only bequest
a bouquet of ideas...
