i'm out walking
notice a dandelion's head
a white and lovely parachute
floating motionless
not drifting or blowing around
just floating
i stand there for a minute
watch this thing hover
defiant against the breeze
i figure it must have some business
or it's waiting for a friend
i nod and carry on
confident in its stalwart watch
the lonely dandy at my back
a guard at the gates of nowhere
