Spring Forward

On the way home from the grocery store,
in a planter box next to the curb,
bright yellow blossons on tawny branches:

It made me want to change my name to Forsythia,
which made me want to change my name to Calendula,
which made me want to change my name to Campanula,
which made me want to change my name to Tulipia,
which made me want to change my name to Allium,
but not change my name to Arbutus or Arbor Vitae.
