the unwanted commonly

there is a way in which dandelions grow

so wild and overlooked

so common and so wild

so common so unwanted

and there is a magic in how dandelions grow

families where they ought not to

growing strongly and growing fiercely

wildly and free

and in abandoned places they make armies

or throw parties and kiss each others necks

becoming and becoming

in all the forgotten places

and there is a particular symphony behind a fence

on a busy corner lot downtown

that plays for free but for the few

that plays for those that hear

and they stretch high and they bend soft

swaying moon heads to almost melodies

and the children hear the call to dance

amongst the magic of the lions

the children hear the call to dance

the call to set the magic free
