The flowers in my hair
They remind me of my memories.
Places I’ve been,
People I’ve met.
Their magenta red purple pink white lavender is my favorite color.
They might not be natural flowers,
But they fit in well.
The ones I wear above my ear, on the left side.

Two twin magenta flowers, each with 15 petals.
The center branches out in purple plastic stems.
I remember wearing them on a ride at the fair
Where we spun so fast,
They threatened to fall out.
I caught them on their way off,
And handed them to a friend.

Two twin magenta flowers, each with 15 petals
Remind me of where I got them,
A long ride in someone else’s car
Listening to my favorite audiobook
About science, and space, and unity.

Two twin magenta flowers, each with 15 petals
Remind me of a time when they weren’t mine.
And they were handed through a window,
Just before I got home.
