Notions of Birds
Notions Of Birds
Millions of birds fill in the yawn of morning
Most of them turn out to be blue or pink
The noisiest ones in the flock are wired electric
A census is not required at these events
The yellow light of day amplifies
Calls attention to loud sounds in color clarity
The sun mocks bad behavior of small creatures
Including flying ones gathered together wearing feathers
Trees stand by rocks to wonder in the grass
Why can't birds fly straight
White clouds move in slow motion
Come apart like cotton candy
Contemplate their own fate
Meditate on other things like quiet dawns
Something other than overpopulation
Of the obnoxiously loud bird nation
