flowerstore owner’s lament poem #1

mothers who live in mobile homes
deserve flowers
mothers who live in mcmansions
deserve flowers
mothers who live in shelters, under
bridges, in trees, deserve flowers
mothers who live on the north side
east side west side south side
deserve flowers
mothers who are raising kids alone
or with lots of help deserve flowers
all mothers deserve flowers
but do they all have to have them
delivered on the same day?
