Yellows Come First
Yellows come first.
On the bushes, mostly green.
The daisy called marguerite,
Lining the street.
And these in the back, Mexican birds-of-paradise
I have seen sour grass by the sea,
And spotted jonquil.
Not yet, daffodils.
Who will win the race? Those
On the hill or
Mustard in the fields.
…
Just the next day, in Dave’s patch,
Daffodils raise their heads to say: “Us”!
