Daisy

Do you play the piano, little daisy, what’s your favourite tune?  Are you interested in politics?  Are you religious or are you more comfortable describing yourself as spiritual?  How long have you been vegan and do have any allergies we should know about?

Do you like dancing, in the shade of the tree, little daisy?  How much do you remember and what do you see?  Do you think things are harder now, in this year that didn’t happen, or does it feel just the same to you?  Is it like previous plagues and poor harvests?  Do you care?

Do you, and your battalion of friends prefer moving under the guidance of the sun or the moon, little daisy?  Are you happy in the soil, or would you prefer to be part of a magnificent chain, in the hair of a young woman, enjoying the afternoon?  Would you like to spend time in a vase?

Modest little daisy, so grateful and kind, all eyes and all seeing, beneath us as we pass.
