A sparrow inside the--[try instead only catching the motion out of the corner of your eye]
(sonnet #MMMMMMMMMDCCCXCIV)
"Love Act'lly" is a fave which seems fr'intents
Quite apropos for now, sae British they'll
Half make me talk like them, though two hours' tale
Ate up last night in just a trice, as thence
The pizza/salad lunch was dinner, whence
Pack up the fresh beans late refried as bail
For lo, some other night, the pretty trail
To happy days tricked out therein my sense.
Half lost in it still, erm, today, dreams cure
The bleaker aspect of this morning to
Nigh reconcile what is, as if's not poor.
A sparrow flies in silence close--of You,
LORD? Oh, that Thou wouldst now return! Bestir
Thy mercies and save us: we wait anew.

Initially creeped out by a definite ghostly grey caught out of the corner of my eye, what a wonder and comfort to discover it wasn't my imagination, but rather a sparrow in the warehouse.
