(JUST HOPE) THIS ISN'T A HITCHCOCK MOVIE

 

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.

just my imagination running away with me.

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.
