Forty Pink Flamingos



The first handful or so
Of years, nobody
Thought to give me
Pink flamingos

Forty pink flamingos
Make me think
You know, with forty or so
You’re thinkin’ now

Forty years, or so
Only a handful pink
And those weren’t really
As pink as all that

trLook at them poking like flightless birds
falling from paper plates
all heavenly earthbound
but the spirit cannot wait
to fly like the pink flamingo
