I had a story I was going to write
About a man
Who broke into a zoo
And free’d all the caged birds
In his mind
A caged bird is the saddest sight to see
And that man
Would be the man
That I wanted to be
But instead
Of actually doing it
I wanted to write about it
Writers are always a little bit of cowards you see
That's why they write about what they want to do
Instead of actually doing it
But as I sit here
A woman
Gets up
And starts to dance to the band playing
And her tits bounce around in her sweater
It’s beautiful
And in the moment
I am grateful
That I am spending the night here
And not
In jail
With free birds flying in the dark sky
This view
Is just
As good
A soul
That has to dance to music on impulse
I imagine
Is very similar
To a bird that has to fly in the sky
As I watch her tits bounce
I notice her arms moving up and down to the music
Almost as if
She is trying to fly away
I toast to God
And thank him
For the fact
That this lady
Isn’t wearing a bra
But
I ask him
To give her wings
A Few minutes later
And a man
Goes up
And tries to dance with her
He pressures her
And it’s ugly
Like throwing paint on poetry
She tries to brush him off
And dance alone
But he is the type of man
That tries to cage a free bird
Instead of
Letting her fly
She finally has enough
And storms out
It really is
One of the saddest sights to see…
