The human mind

Is like a newborn chic

Taking his first flight

He starts

Stops

Going now on his own.

Thinking with each

Step

Flap

But sometimes they

Fall.

Whirling

Bitter

Confusion.

Changed

No longer the triumphant bird

Soaring

Just a second ago.

The bird call dies

The chic unaware what the sound was

That just a second ago was

Bellowing out form his thin throat

Happy,

Sad

A random call

A twitch

What seemed so important a second ago,

Gone

In a flurry of feathers

Colors

Sounds

Emotions

From no where they come

Into no where they disappear.

Then the ground.

The human mind

Is like a newborn chic

Taking his first flight.

He starts

Stops

Going now on his own.

But sometimes they

fall.
