Bird at the Bus Stop
Kianna Turner
I watched a little bird at the bus stop
Headphones in, listening to my favourite bop
I was asked the question, “how do you tell if a bird is happy?”
Is it only if its wings are flappy?
It presented soft chitter-chatter
Mixed with feet doing a pitter-patter
I can only view its overt behaviour
Yet, it’s still a moment that I savour
I may view it through operationalization
To clarify a phenomenon without hesitation
But little things like this bird make me feel delight
Even with the world in a constant plight
The bird’s presence filled me with elation
Thinking to myself, what a beautiful creation
