a child went forth
on the road to school
a dusty road
every day
he saw the dead birds
and he wondered
beautiful golden yellow birds
and he wondered
the car went by
and he saw a bird hit
and fall
he said to God
this must stop
and he wondered
the years passed
he became a man
he had children
and he wondered
he went forth
to the office every day
by car
then one day
it was
work from home
indefinitely
and he wondered
so he went forth
walking
not to school
not to work
and he saw the birds flying
he saw the cars stopped
and he wondered
and he said
thank you God
