Addicted To Writing

I wonder if Wright
ever thought himself wrong,

before making an actual 
flight? 

I mean, pigeons heckling
him, from the tin roof's ledge (Oh yea! They
do laugh, a sort of subtle, mocking coo, a snickering choir
Wright all too well knew --

as if only pigeons flew
  
probably more upset that it was not Kitty Pigeon
(bemoaned a Homer of the Township's naming decision) 
(damn hawks always got the greater glory!) – despite what pigeons did 
during the perilous war story, risking beak and tail, so our nation would prevail --
and yet, still used, primarily, for Chow Mein and 
free-range stew, as if humans yet had not a moral clue) 
(But I digress. Should be cautious: feathered Ears everywhere...
myself soon expecting a head full of taunting goo – followed by
cooing laughter~ daring me to take offense~ just try to sue!) – 

And now, it is high-time I confess
this write not about Wright, not about
wings, nor pigeon mess – but more about
being bored, with presently not a thought 
worthy enough to intelligently address.... Addicted to writing.

Pigeons are a pest really. They dirty my pavement. Loved your poem.

I hear you, Victor; though I have seen some rare, coop pigeons that were the most beautiful, graceful birds one could imagine. About your back: I left a comment on your last poem that may be helpful. I don't know. Blessings my friend.

What the heck: it's like muscles, one has to exercise the writing even when one feels blah....

i would say Joe this was highly entertaining and quite reflective of my own weirdness, impatient one simply becomes the Charge of the Light Brigade kind of like Teddy pulling an imaginary sword and charging up the stairs in Arsenic and Old Lace....ya just never know what the poetic mind might produce...scary i know, but, it is the price we pay when the Muse is across the street drinking....loved the humor
