Cardinal Notes

"
Out of the bathroom window I noticed a Cardinal the other day.
Vibrant red chest, a swagger, observant.
Each feather silent, yet liable to shake.
 
A cyborg to face, he stood idol in place.
 
A probing expression as if exploring the intersection of red, blackness and wokeness.
Chokehold of a black necktie, silent yet vocal.
See, we tried violins and soulful,
But the milage and total only show these tyrants run in circles and ovals.
 
But never mind.
 
I went outside, I needed five just to think.
It wasn't about the time, the Bee, or the Butterfly,
I just realized what it means.
Some chose a side and reside amongst the golden rings.
Others choose to ride, defy and battle the king.
In fact, a Falcon wouldn't hide, it just dives and folds its wings.
 
Truthfully, this is when I decide to pull the vines and the strings, be privy and educate.
They couldn't minimize, the heavyweight could move, swing and levitate.
