I Sat On a Bench

I SAT on a bench in a park
Watching a black bird until 
It flew away
I SAT on a bench waiting
For the return of the black
Bird,  I wanted to study the habits
Of the black bird
The next day I waited 
For the  black bird
I muttered under my
Breath " I HAVE SEEDS. "
I SAT ON the bench
Patience is a virtue.
