Jackie’s plants leapt from the ground
After the sun came out the other day,
Because it’s been so long
And they didn’t want to miss it, I suppose.
They sprung up and pushed their faces
As close to the sun as they could get,
Opening their tiny numerous mouths
Gobbling up as much magic as they could get
So they’ll be ready later
When they get their real faces,
Full of color and contagious smiles
And they can play
Under the giant warm sprinkler
And laugh at each other
About how silly they feel
And how good it is to be alive.
