Poetry

a bird got lost in a bag
she don't struggle
she nibbles on the crumbs of a pretzel

it's amazing how she breathes wrapped in plastic
it's surprising how she ended up in the transparent film

the bird watches her death barely in the mirror of fear
just after she finished eating because she must be strong 
yeah looks alone

still think there would be a way out
everything is to break the plastic wall

or maybe she writes a verse 
a way out per the verse of the day
inverse
written backwards so that everyone can read 
the message
from outside readers
