It’s A Bird
Look up in the sky,
“It’s a bird”,
So what.
“It has no wings!”
Are you sure?
“Yah, look, look,
he only has a body and an orange beak!”,
Hey you’re right.
“He’s trying to say something,
can you hear him?”,
Wait, listen, I do hear him.
“What’s he saying!”
He’s telling me something,
“What, What!”
Shhh, he says…’you don’t need wings to fly’
“Wow…
I didn’t think birds were that deep”

It’s A Bird: I wrote this poem in the mid ’90′s. A humorous reference to the impossible – essentially a life message delivered by an imperfect bird – and the recipient’s not so bright.
