In memory of Father Flye	A
	-
	-
The strange and wonderful are too much with us	B
The protea of the antipodes a great	C
globed blazing honeybee of a bloom	D
for sale in the supermarket We are in	E
our decadence we are not entitled	F
What have we done to deserve	G
all the produce of the tropics	H
this fiery trove the largesse of it	I
heaped up like cannonballs these pineapples bossed	J
and crested standing like troops at attention	K
these tiers these balconies of green festoons	H
grown sumptuous with stoop labor	L
	-
The exotic is everywhere it comes to us	H
before there is a yen or a need for it The green	M
grocers uptown and down are from South Korea	N
Orchids opulence by the pailful just slightly	O
fatigued by the plane trip from Hawaii are	P
disposed on the sidewalks alstroemerias freesias	H
fattened a bit in translation from overseas gladioli	O
likewise estranged from their piercing ancestral crimson	K
as well as less altered from the original blue cornflower	L
of the roadsides and railway embankments of Europe these	H
bachelor's buttons But it isn't the railway embankments	H
their featherweight wheels of cobalt remind me of it's	H
	-
a row of them among prim colonnades of cosmos	H
snapdragon nasturtium bloodsilk red poppies	H
in my grandmother's garden a prairie childhood	Q
the grassland shorn overlaid with a grid	R
unsealed furrowed harrowed and sown with immigrant grasses	H
their massive corduroy their wavering feltings embroidered	S
here and there by the scarlet shoulder patch of cannas	H
on a courthouse lawn by a love knot a cross stitch	T
of living matter sown and tended by women	K
nurturers everywhere of the strange and wonderful	O
beneath whose hands what had been alien begins	H
as it alters to grow as though it were indigenous	H
	-
But at this remove what I think of as	H
strange and wonderful strolling the side streets of Manhattan	K
on an April afternoon seeing hybrid pear trees in blossom	U
a tossing vertiginous colonnade of foam up above	V
is the white petalfall the warm snowdrift	S
of the indigenous wild plum of my childhood	S
Nothing stays put The world is a wheel	O
All that we know that we're	W
made of is motion	K
