Sucker Punch


April opened up like a punch in the gut

April is here old man,
April is here

Everything is changing and
the wind has blown your umbrella
inside out

Airborne particles will lull you with
Cherry Blossoms nearly crimson
and purplish Dutch Crocus
that keel and explode with color

Small tufts of sweet baby Chickweed
poke about between cracks 
in the glittered pavement

All signs of new life
All vie for attention 
All we need do is look

April is here old man,
April is here
Damn the torpedo's and full steam ahead
