I was contemplating On a hot sunday late-morning On things where I went wrong. Should have's, shouldn't have's; They seemed to be what went wrong Until I got back to the present, On the dining table Where I was seated in front of, When a lizard was now staring at me, Perhaps disappointed with how I did not feel him inching towards me Or maybe wondering Why I never notice The things happening before me. Now is this bird Who just perched on the balustrade And gave me a quick tip of the head Then flew away, Telling me to instead contemplate On parts of me where I went wrong?

What's Wrong With You, Human?
I was contemplating On a hot sunday late-morning On things where I went wrong. Should have's, shouldn't have's; They seemed to be what went wrong Until I got back to the present, On the dining table Where I was seated in front of, When a lizard was now staring at me, Perhaps disappointed with how I did not feel him inching towards me Or maybe wondering Why I never notice The things happening before me. Now is this bird Who just perched on the balustrade And gave me a quick tip of the head Then flew away, Telling me to instead contemplate On parts of me where I went wrong?
