she wanted to be a blade of grass amid the fields but he wouldn't agree to be the dandelion
she wanted to be a robin singing through the leaves but he refused to be her tree
she spun herself into a web and looking for a place to rest turned to him but he stood straight declining to be her corner
she tried to be a book but he wouldn't read
she turned herself into a bulb but he wouldn't let her grow
she decided to become a woman and though he still refused to be a man she decided it was allright© Nikki Giovanni
