I Sit
I sit
I sit here at four listening to the birds outside my door.
I sit at four my mind bursting to explore.
I sit and ask what is my task.
The birds sing wildly, they know the sun will come out to play.
Their task is simple instinctive and full of play.
So I sit with lots of time, the human brain is a strain.
Yes it's big to all of nature our gift and torture.
For we are not part of the singing we have a door.
We live by a clock, we understand born to die.
Three score ten an average end.
We sit we wonder our gift our torture.
