I am an eagle
I live in a zoo
I don’t like
it much
Neither would
you
I sat on my
perch
I stared at
the wall
But I saw a
sky
With no bars
at all
I sat on my
perch
I glared down
at crowds
I dived in
my mind
Between
dreamed clouds
I sat on my
perch
I shat on
the floor
I tried to
imagine
What it
feels like to soar
Then god of eagles
Made good luck for me
One unlocked moment
Enough to fly free
But life uncaged
Was too short and sweet
Wide open sky
Killed dogs to eat
I sat in a tree
Didn’t know what to feel
Kept dreaming of bars
And regular meals
I sat in a tree
I knew I was tamed
No move to escape
When the dart gun was aimed
I am an
eagle
I live in a
zoo
I don’t like
it much
Neither
would you
