The Moment the Birds Came In

on my laptop tranquilly typing
when life the strange showrunner threw 
two swallows in my living room through 
the open sliding door and i can’t believe 
it angular bodies cut like diamonds they 
flutter and chirp looking like tattoos 
come to life on my white ceiling their black 
wings like exclamation points like it’s a 
cartoon and i’ve been knocked out i’m stupefied 
and the birds fly out.
