no one wanted me either

no one wanted this unusual canary
I related totally
no one wanted me either

I will take that one, I told the shop keeper
That one!
He was incredulous.

I said that one, I said, nodding.
The tall gawky weird-looking one?
I glared at the guy, who popped him into a sack.

Everyone at my house laughed at me.
As usual
Called me names, as usual

the gangly awkward canary and I became close
understanding what it feels like
when you are rejected by those you want to love the most
