NaPoWriMo, Day Twenty, Poem Twenty

 
Hit Over Head
 
The local florist's sign
says: If your name is

Chad Parenteau, enter 
not for early birthday rose, 

but for unbagged clump 
of  same processed shit

our flowers grow in
to remind you every

photogenesis--the birth
of everything made 

photogenic--was built
in the entrails of the ugly

ones, and you're too far
down in the ground

to ever see the results, 
face under sensible shoes.
