They take us by surprise, these tall perennials
that jut like hollyhocks above the canopy
of all the rest of us—bright testimonials
to the scale of human possibility.
They infiltrate every generation
with the most extraordinary notions —
singular, unprecedented visions
from the taproots of imagination-
and soon, the things we never thought would happen start to happen:
the stiff, solid fences
of reality begin to soften,
to crumble into fables and romances,
and we turn away from where we’ve been
to a new place, where light is pouring in.
