a pansy seed will come up a pansy every time
and never once turn out to be a refrigerator

but in all our brilliance as human beings, 
we are so easily plugged into living and dying 
as if that's all there is to it

seldom acknowledging 
our birthright as eternal beings,
content to be pretty as a pansy
or as cool as a tin-lined icebox
