There is ample reason. . . .why
This train of thought was
Derailed before it could
Reach wherever it was
Going is anybody’s
Guess but who’s
To say the arrival of this
Flighty interloper does not
Signal a necessary
Deviation from the norm,
(Whatever norm means in this
Day and age).
In the meantime, if I choose
To bask in the knowledge
That observing this twittering
Bird on the edge
Of a myrtle branch so
It can better reach those pungent,
Bittersweet berries is a balm
To my balanced but at times still
Tottering soul, who’s to say
"You are wrong in thinking so."
