the most beautiful thing I saw today
a blackbird with the
orangest of beaks
having a splashing good
time
in a plastic container of
water
how refreshing, sparrow
looked on in awe
as blackbird dipped his head
in the water
laid before him, once,
twice, thrice
he flapped his wings so
boldly
dispersing millions of
droplets
all around bird song grew louder
all around bird song grew louder
as if to say
blackbird you handsome
beaut!
continue cleaning your
feathers
you're so darn cute!
you're so darn cute!
so dutiful, so beautiful
blackbird you are, da one!
