Bird Man

There’s a bird in my window

I open it up. and let him in

I feed him

and he flies away

There are 2 birds in my window

I let ‘em in. feed ‘em. and they fly away

There are 3 birds in my window

I let them in. feed ‘em. and they fly away.

I wake up early.

My window open.

There are no birds in my window.

I take a walk outside.

There are 3 birds in a branch

6 in a tree

2 on a lamppost

4 on the street

They follow me wherever I go

A huge smile on my face, they provide a bravado in which I use to start this day

I walk with more confidence now

My head higher and my chest broader

I feel good

Brand new

I feel included

like a part of something, so natural

I feel higher

Like a bird
