Damn Bird

A bird! A bird!

It taunted me

As I lay sleeping in my bed.

Right there! Right there!

This bird did float

I was wrestling him in my head.

Oh why? Oh why

was this bird here?

He certainly didn’t belong!

And yet, and yet

I fought with him,

My arms battling all night long

Please wake! Please wake!

I begged myself.

This dream must finally be done.

I woke! I woke!

The bird is gone.

Time to start my day and move on.
