The Troubled Roses
The hill wanted to be a rippling river and it opted for a sex change surgery
The dancing falls now gurgle pink with two masters in maths and English
She applied for a lecturer's chair where they asked not of her achievements
If she has her breasts, if she menstruates, and so on went their dullard lips
The roses in the valley suffer the piercing pain forcing the tears well up
The cold hands have very recently got a warm bouquet from a private school
