Wildflower |
In a tenement near the Henry Hudson River |
From my favorite spot on a rusting fire escape |
I would look below. |
And see Mario |
Braving the ferocious dandelions |
Mario, our fearless superintendent |
Kept the garden green, despite the parkway smog |
But the flowering weeds |
Their fates decreed |
Pulled, to keep his rosebush from dying |
Then I would creep inside, curl up in my bed |
Something strong was pulling at my head |
Pulling at my heart |
Wild flower, growing in all the wrong places |
Wild flower, so lonely? |
neath that lovely rose bush |
Proper garden’s nightmare, queen of opened fields |
Tell me, who will love this wildflower |
For exactly what she is? |
Years passed by, we left that red brick building |
Left Mario behind |
For a brand new house |
But my dark brown skin |
On the white washed walls within |
Stood out, so it’d get me up and cryin' |
My growing pains had many rooms to fill, then |
Mother never know |
.Had a garden to keep clean |
While there was NY grease |
On her young flower from the Middle East |
She was busy pulling dendelions |
Then I would creep inside, curl up in my bed |
Something strong was pulling at my head |
Pulling at my heart |
Wild flower, growing in all the wrong places |
Wild flower, so lowly? |
neath that lovely rosebush |
Proper garden’s nightmare, queen of opened fields |
Tell me, who will love this wildflower |
For exactly what she is? |
