Birds |
I don’t want to drive a fancy car today |
I don’t wanna ride in a red corvette |
I don’t wanna jog my Saturday away |
But I don’t wanna go home yet |
Today is not the day to jump out of a plane |
I don’t wanna parasail or play roulette |
I don’t wanna risk it all or go insane |
But I don’t wanna go home yet |
I just wanna watch the birds go by |
From my handy foldable blue canvas throne |
I wanna watch them fly and fly |
And see them soar up into the unknown |
But I feel just like a nerd |
Watching birds |
Watching me here all alone |
I don’t wanna breakdance or learn taekwondo |
I don’t wanna fish till all the fish are gone |
I don’t wanna rollerskate even if it’s slow |
I don’t wanna pass out in a marathon |
I don’t like soccer, baseball, track or field |
I’m not up for a match of polo |
I don’t wanna seek or try to stay concealed |
I’m also not up for waterpolo |
I just wanna watch the birds up there |
Track the migratory patterns that they’ve flown |
I wanna watch them from my chair |
With my binoculars, my latte, and my phone |
Trying to spot a lark |
In the park |
Parked in nature all alone |
Alone here with the doves |
And the sparrows, and the ospreys |
The owlets, the egrets, and my list |
It’s just me and Mr. Finch |
The robins, the king fishers, the snipes |
Though I heard they don’t exist |
Each little species |
In its little way can teach me what awaits you |
If you can get away |
I wanna watch |
The birds do what they will |
Sorry if I’m ornithologically prone |
I wanna watch from somewhere undisturbing |
Quiet, calm, still |
Sit right here and gaze at the unknown |
I don’t wanna fly |
In the sky |
I just wanna be alone |
It’s not a big deal, or anything |
I just wanna be alone |
