Panic Bird

Your glee is my medicine
greening from grey
lighting the heart
so as to make
the room dance --
a panic bird escaped
from your chest
during your nap:
I traced the outer
portion of your lips
with a blue magic marker --
we should have a talk.

who can nap with a panic bird in their chest? jesus that person must be really tired. I knew a punk rawk singer who once passed out after a show while in the middle of a long tour with a panic bird in his leg, but that's totally different. -John
