Itinerary On The Fly

Do not place

your piano on the tracks.

Do not bind to a base

A bird of any kind.

Still, facts are facts

and the unforeseen may occur

Without warning--without a word.

"I knew a tune," says the man.

"I knew the sky," says the bird.

And so they sit with what they know.

Man and bird at peace in place

with one stop left to go.
