Feeling Out

I was wondering.
In a blizzard
is there a snowflake -
an average type -
that feels apart,
knows its crystals
are microscopically different?

In a field of ripening wheat,
is there a stalk
drying seed on top
who knows its color
is just a bit off?

At the Cherry Blossom Festival,
is there one petal
falling on a passer-by
who just let go
because it knew
it shouldn't be in the pictures?

Or is it just me?
