Lesson 30

A bird flew into my room
one afternoon, and before I screamed,
before the normal responses
of jumping up and bolting off
my chair, yelling for my mom,
and contemplating total abandon,
for the briefest of moments I thought
what a terrific poem this would make.

What a terrible job I’ve done at that!

I am almost jealous
