big B flat minor talk



bird with crest, perched on tall grass beside zephyr

swept clean reservoir,undulating.



sang a little and darted into undergrowth.looking for something, anything

to make it tick,like we do.



it's reed mate came by, crest-less , as small as a

B flat minor shaped thought.



looking for it's friend.pointed to where he should go.

B flat minor didn't take a jott of notice,

looking at me like i was insane and a fool.



only a human after all,had us well sussed,must have known we are crazy

and want to destroy things of beuty , hardly ever see



wanting only to attain,always attain things like we owned them, god and everything

even B flat minor.



as though we never hit the exit sign lit up in smokey neon red

we were born to enter mostly half alive, dead.



had a chat with B flat, the way you do.sqeezing lips together

so as they quivered, vibrated, replying to his twitterings.



every time he made two, i made two, and so on. we seemened to get along fine

even though i could not sing as well as he could.



tiptoed, on top of strong silent type, grass, shivering it's nakedness in the snake breeze.

most intelligent conversation ever had or will have.



B flat knew just about everything thier was to know and more,so much more !

as smacked lips together ,squeezing out chit chat , a couple appeared

looking at me as if i had escaped from somewhere they hide the keys from you



looked sheepish, B flat pretended he didn't know me !

dissapeared , without so much as a thankyou to find his friend ,the creep !

and i had no one to talk to, again



but the zephyr's breathe felt fine and good and i had some left,

even inside the inside.
