Quiet As It's Kept

If you say 'Toni Morrison' three times in a mirror I'll appear, with a notebook and pen in hand Marigold caught between my teeth...  "It'th a metaphor, you sthee?" 

The Chilli Pepper Tree

I spent my life waiting For a miraculous hand to free me Set me apart, declare me worthy I got emotional today, standing by the chilli pepper tree at my front gate...  Thinking of how something so small Of little renown, could blossom so elegantly ... and I was jealous Even though my life is filled with pain, no glamorous possession to my name... Could I ever be as great As the chilli pepper tree by the gate? Could anything so breathtaking  ever come from me?
