Small Bird
without caveat
fucks off, just like that
small bird
apropos of naught
the birch tree distraught
no word
from the bird, not yet
how soon we forget
absurd.
It’s time for another verse form over at dVerse, this one is called a “Lai”; learn all about it here.

A bold Lai, tongue in cheek. I liked /apropos of naught/birch tree distraught/no word. Of course, I love it when small birds (so cocky) fuck off.

The birds just don’t really care about us, do they?

I’m sure the bird forgot with absurd ease too! Birds don’t fuck off for nothing I don’t think.
