i took a walk that morning
like i always do
i stood beside a steady lake and gazed
upon this hilarious queue of corvid
as this old lady threw pieces
of, i suppose, white bread on the ground
quietly sitting on a cruddy bench
i observed
like i always do
some of the birds would touch the surface
of the water
out of thirst, i thought maybe
and a small ripple would turn
into a small wave
i come home and sit
eat my almond butter toast
like i always do
for a split moment i bet i could fly
flap my made pretend wings against the
whirling wind
i towered on the top of the mountain
i saw the world beneath the white air
crystal blue water, green forests and
the scene between humongous grey rocks
i could've stayed but i left
like i always do
