OH, MY LITTLE CHICKADEE





Backyard bird
so small
it would fit

whole

in my mouth

and peep
between my lips.

My friend
would lean over
and ask

what…what

wondering

just what O.G.
was going on about.

Bird
wet & warm
would
finally

burst out

after

gnats

hovering

near-by.

My friend
would miss
the great escape
and wonder

why O.G. looked

so

surprised.
