BIRDS OBSERVE FROM A ROOF...
While
an anchor
does stretching exercises
on the beach

I'm in a pique
ReplyDeleteSociety wii lionize the chic
Who are just like so many
But elevated to ease
General ignorance
The birds are aware
ReplyDeleteThat one of them stayed
Sanded, did not rise to air
Objectively, they don't distain
But remain distant aloof on the roof
Perhaps hoping that that object
Outstretched, does not feel pain
Oh, the words forgotten
ReplyDeleteIn the vanished section
Of this window. So anxious
To react it has no time
For pencil, when those
…words gush
ReplyDeleteLike at the shore
Anchor and stick
But the ones one
Really want
Slip out to the
Unseeing sea
Black is black
ReplyDeleteWhite is white
Even if the same
Different eyes
Anchor to bird
Bird to anchor
You are not me
Visceal
Visceral xenophobia
ReplyDeleteKeeps the bay birds
At bay since t.hat strange
Thing
May ruin my day
Works both ways
Depends on who
Deposits stuff on who
Like the child's
ReplyDeleteVoice-over
Ad men know
Ears need to hear
The comforting
Sense so
Adults use there own
Little voices
For a
Better sale
Little did I know that such a whimsically posted page
Deletecould inspire such a superior poetic response!!!
Flowed from somewhere
ReplyDeleteThat somewhere is a mighty special place...
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to visit there
Come to there
ReplyDeleteIf only there was here
ReplyDeleteand so were you...
if only...
