small creatures

she asked me,
if you were an animal what would you be
and i said a bird
because i’m flighty and i tend to babble

and there’s not much going on in my bird brain
and what there is
is all jumbled up and nonsense-

 
the little creature looks so pitiful,
but i keep it because it reminds me of myself.

 
i keep your left-behind things
and whisper your secrets to them

he used to unicycle, i said.
