11 February 2009

i woke up to the sound of birds today.
and here i was, thinking it was still winter,
still time for overcoats
and tissue boxes.
and while this morning might be a fluke,
and the snow might fall in a few days,
that bird knew to fly home already.
who am i to judge its internal calendar?
maybe come february,
we should look up to the birds
instead of down to a groundhog.
