Blueless Bird - Joni Fatora

Why do the birds sing

So early in the dawn?

They’re honeys?

melodies before my days' alarm

I imagine them rehearsing

For some pickle elaborate show

That I’ve not been invited to

So I should never know

The songs they like to sing,

I supposed they’re not too far

From all the songs I sing when I’m lonely in my car

If I were postman I’ll wait for the afternoon

I’d be the lucky someone to be strapping on their tooth

But I think I like it better when I sleep late past that call

But I know perhaps that birds don’t sing any at all

We are lonely,

Love comes easily to you,

But not the hurt

You’re imperious to blue

I wish I knew

How to sing 'bout yet the colors too
