In a birdcage the size of the world,
we still aren't free
I've heard a bird singing, ?Perhaps…
this
is close enough…?
Finally, I understood
the phrases…
Bird-brained.
Pigeonholed.
Never merely words to one as I
[Hawkeyed
is what I strive to be]
as
cockeyed, they strive to see
from a birdcage
the size of the world
Well…
perhaps,
eventually…
But for now to see
the swallow
swallow its pride
and keep it all inside,
then let it digest
instead of hide---
would be the key.
The key's---
not in
our wings,
but in our minds
[Any fool can fly]
while steel bars
are only unbreakable…
for one who never tries
Alone it seems
I've flown
through oh so many things
Never realized…
the truth, but the truth
of everything
is that I've never really
known why
the caged bird sings.
