Bird
Youth can be given a bad seed
Which holds the mind and heart in check
And slows the thought
And slows the mood
So that one
Sits more frequently on branches and
Isn't as flighty
Does not squawk as much
Maybe sings less
The pill
That stops the singing
The song which is misunderstood
Only
to be something other than what it is
The bird
Whose song goes with the eye
Where it looks
Goes the heart
From branch to branch
Moment by moment
A bird
largest animal on the planet
Needs no remedy
