mia stegner - xenogamy lyrics
she’s never heard this word before, and that gives her a scare
it wasn’t on her study list, and that just seems unfair
but there’s also something less unpleasant settling in her mind
a sense of righteous apathy, relief of a certain kind
she’ll either get it right or not, she only has to try
“definition please?” she asks, and a powerful voice replies…
“fertilization by cross-pollination
especially between flowers on different plants.”
she thinks, “that doesn’t help me, it never does.”
she sighs and gives the ceiling a glance
was it really worth the flashcards, the hours of memorization?
do types of words n0body needs, deserve so much dedication?
realizing, maybe i am only here ‘cuz some fool wants a song to start with x
for a moment she just stands there, twiddling her thumbs, thinking of flower s-x
this spelling bee is just a flower, one small stop for a bee like me
x-e-n-o-g-a-m-e
this man behind the table, even he has to have checked
he makes a face, and then he says, “i’m sorry but that’s incorrect.”
dad’s smile drops, as does mom’s hand, her phone no longer filming
excitedly their daughter skips away, decidedly leaving the building
