petals...

A lyric goes around my mind like this

daisy dead petals
that is her name
hmmm hmmm hmmm hmmm hmmm hmmmm hmmmm...
these dead petals, honey, brought me here
got a crack in
got a crack in some strange places
these dead petals, honey, brought me here
--daisy dead petals

~~~~~
and maybe that makes me think of
a field (edge of a backyard) of black eyed susans
and a little girl sneaks away across the street
to the catholic church playground
who knows how she knew it was there?
and why she was not missed
did it really happen?
did voices collaborate?
well, not when she tried to sneak her younger friend over
and the window opened
you get back here right now
******
oh wrong memory?
maybe it was actually a methodist church!
was it?
no no...
probably it was a catholic school
there was a direct road
to our lady of hope, by little sisters of the poor
yes
thank you internet maps
does it still have a playground?
does it still
