the year of no roses

i saved nine hundred dollars
last year
by not buying flowers.
not for birthdays,
or holidays,
mother days,
apology days, etc.
no roses, no daffodils,
not a potted plant
was sent or handed 
to someone
i was trying to please
on a bended knee.
not a girlfriend, not a wife,
not a casual acquaintance 
i met on some lame
online dating site.
maybe next year.
