The wind sometimes blows birds out of

The trees, and the birds might even fall

For a second. But then they fly up and up,

Until they find a sturdier limb on which

To perch. Or they ride the breeze, feeling

The strength of the current in their

Feathers, enjoying the sensation and

Power of the mighty gusts. A bird

Becomes one with the air, be the air still

Or moving. A bird learns where the air is

Calm, and where it is strong, using both

To its advantage, responding to changes

As they occur. Make me like a bird!

I wish Walmart sold gorillas and African

Lions. But then that would mean

Someone would have to go trap them and

Sometimes kill them. So, I don’t. Besides, 

What would I do with a gorilla or a lion?

I was wondering if airplanes fly higher

When they have happy thoughts or if a

Cowboy can lasso a calf from a helicopter. 

Why?
