Spring, alas

Immense and hopeful, Spring fits
into a scatter of green and yellow
organic matter that used to lure kids
outdoors to make dandelion bracelets.

But now, since screens were put in their palms,
their green minds* are bound to inorganic matter.

Dave Read

* see the poem by Dylan Thomas, The force that through the green fuse drive the flower
