I can’t sit still,
Looking at words
I’m not happy to see.
Flying is the answer
As I jump to the
Window,
But I might not
Make it
To the nearest tree,
So I freeze.
Victim of circumstance,
Again and again.
I try to read her mind;
Coming up blank
Is my second
Occupation.
Her move,
I say.
I don’t want to bother
If she’s not glad to
Hear my voice.
Prayers are probably
In order.
I just think too much
That’s all.
Think of me,
Please?
