"There's a bluebird in my heart that wants to get out..."
                                                                     C. Bukowski
 
I never saw a bluebird ...
 
                I once saw a bluebird sitting alone and still....
 
....but there was always an expectation.
 
                on a sign: WELCOME TO MISSISSIPPI
 
Now that was an "aha" moment ...
 
               Indeed. I had no camera, so I stood and watched.
 
...the simple sum of perfection
 
                I tired before he did;   
 
...would have brought a tear to Bukowski's eye
 
                     He was gone when I returned
 
...the memory is no doubt indelible!
 
                    my Bluebird
 
...I could have made an effort.
