they scream and they shout.
over something wasn't worth talking about.

the topic defines itself, tired of being unheard.
rumors fly carelessly, aimlessly, imitating the sound of a bird.

as i stand here.
watching.
understanding.

a bird falls.
it gets up, flying across the walls.

i watch and i think so dearly.
why did it choose to fly-
-instead of cry.
