migration

does it make you cry
it makes me cry the
thought makes me cry

as if we had returned
to live our very lives
and just plain messed
it up - again we will try

we have to - it is what
we do best and we do
so little - have you figured

that out yet, endless
configurations we think
yet none really stick

no tesla, no imaginative
bronte - none of these - i
bet they thought them

selves as lost: what with the birds and all
