the little grey bird
twittering on a branch
outside my window
as i sit to meditate
has ants in its pants
it can’t seem to stop
shaking its tail feathers
is it thinking about sex?
or does it literally have
bugs on its bottom?
maybe it’s boogie fever
i can’t say
eventually
it flutters to a higher place
and settles down
eventually
however briefly
i do the same
