too real to be real

I was walking along the sidewalk 
in all the daily pain 
& miserable faces & awful air. 
Up above in a flower box 
were yellow tulips, too real 
to be real, so big 
and sexual looking in 
that funny way flowers 
always are. I guess 
they were like heads 
poking in from another 
world. How do you 
like Wednesday, you 
beautiful things? 
 
[Eileen Myles {1949- } 'Yellow Tulips', from I Must be Living Twice]
