BIRD
27.04.20
and I’m watching
a robin hop
across the grass,
his usual path
of stops: lawn, tree, wall, lawn,
tree, wall, lawn, tree,
and I suppose
he doesn’t know,
or at least doesn’t
give a fuck,
about the ongoing global crisis
and more than ever
I want to wake up
to discover I’m suddenly a bird
and just
fly out of the open window
and away, singing
