call me up in the middle of the night
I wake up and I’ve got nothing to say
rather listening to birdsong
infiltrating through screen windows
reminding me the need to sing like them
it seems to me they know something
more about life than they let on
leading me to believe I should spend
less time hanging out in the weeds
I’ve been busy making birdhouses
mainly because I don’t know
how to build a rose
I’ve been busy navigating maps
designed to get me from this point
to the next sunrise
it seems to me that by this time
I should know something more than you
but truth be told we were both born
with all the knowledge in the world
I wake up and find myself whistling
a song I learned long ago
a little ditty always close to my heart
whether wide awake or dreaming
july two thousand nineteen
