I watched a robin take wing
while on my work-bound route
and wondered if I had a thing
of value to commute
for just one shot to sing
but I was destitute
so wished it well as it began
a lilting tune unknown to man
and prompted by those gentle notes
I sought a different path
to skirt the management that gloats
about lopsided math
regurgitated down the throats
that warble hungry wrath
and maybe find a place where I
can have a chance to reach the sky.
Are You Reading Me?
Have you ever noticed how a robin's song carries and almost echoes when sitting at the top of a tall tree? You need to find a high place and sing some notes unsung before. Then on Tuesday, you can reflect on that moment when you are back flying with the crows.
