Nightingale
I'd like to be
a nightingale.
Nightingales sing
the beauty of the night,
the moon, the stars,
and the starry light.
Unlike a man.
Man sleeps at night,
only snores to the stars,
only gasps to the moon,
hate its bright light.
He needs to wake up at dawn
and wash his face
and hurry up,
and chase the bus,
do things he hates.
That's why
I want to be a nightingale.
In fact, I am.
