Flying Lessons
A bird flies alone
As the ground runs away.
And the land turns to sea
And away away the water turns to sky.
All around the world combines
And somehow we try to tear it apart.
The world has to be auctioned off
Nicely to the highest bid.
When did it get to be so desperate?
Why is it that there is no time left
When that’s all we’ve got?
homeward bound!
