Looking up
at the sky
& seeing flocks of birds
flying overhead.
They go full circle
and hover about.
I’m hopeful they already
used the bathroom before they traveled.
I’m feeling grateful
that Mel Brooks didn’t
write the script of my life
but it is spooky
seeing all these birds in their flock
and it’s too early
to be heading South.
Yes, I realize
that I’m putting
too much though into it
but I am a suburban boy
and being
out in the sticks
is confusing at best
if not outright scary.
And something like
a flock of birds overhead
can inspire thoughts
of epic proportion
far more than what
the situation actually calls for.
I Looked Up In The Sky
I looked up in the sky
a flock of birds flew by
they dropped some
whitewash in my eye
I couldn't laugh
I couldn't cry
I'm only glad that cows
can't fly.
