birdbrain
I believed I was a bird
and this ~ was flying
Later on they shared the truth
I am an emu
ostrich kiwi
cassowary turkey dodo
feathered flightless freak of nature
I have never left the ground
and if my shadow seemed too small
it's not because I'm so far up
but that I'm barely even here

Author's Note
blue angels flying overhead today - practice runs, terrifying, awe-inspiring. I could never touch them, can barely even find them in the sky. It puts things in a sobering perspective.
