Orchids

If it's life
You can bet
That the worst surprise is waiting at the end
Just you try
Playing dumb
Picking sides
When the first kiss and the last one intertwine
With your sister's fifth grade head lice
In the irises and orchids of your eyes

If it's life
You can fall
And fall again before you've had the chance to rise
Much at all
Decades end
In seconds flat
Professor Neil deGrasse Tyson, explain that
With a well-honed anecdote about his past or his decisions
Of course he can
And we would sigh
With a single standing ovation worldwide
The very first, the very last one of its size
And we were proud to be alive
