song of spring
time to sing,

she wants to trample
through pristine green,

pawns of lawns
manicured,

dandelions dots

weeds come screaming
thru the rocks,

graffiti on the
subway door,

next stop, brooklyn
hoyt and schermerhorn,

where homeless
sleep the winter's dawn,

silent shadows
croping up,

reminders, blinders
cannot stop,
unpretty truths
come gritty and grey

heads in the sand
but injustice weighs,

look at her
shouting
she's so vane, insane

wants to fly
like a goddess
but truth comes with rain,

in threats to strip her long blonde mane

her fear to be normal
ordinary andplain

Interesting post.
"Look at her

Maybe 'vain' is what you need here.
