Once I Saw a Little Bird

Image by Dean Moriarty

Once I saw a little bird

going hop, hop, hop.

And I said , “Little bird,

will you stop, stop, stop?” 

I was going to the window

to say, “How do you do?” 

But he shook his little tail

and away he flew.

Upside Down

Image by Myriam Zilles

It’s funny how beetles 
and creatures like that 
can walk upside down 
as well as walk flat.

They crawl on a ceiling 
and climb on a wall 
without any practice 
or trouble at all.

While I have been trying 
for a year (maybe more)
and still I can’t stand 
with my head on the floor.
