The birds are singing

don’t know about what —

what’s that?

They’re telling a joke

I don’t get it —

I don’t understand them

But I understand that.

From yoke to joke

& oak to oak this

bloke just woke

to an earthy birth

whose cosmos was lost

& now sound

This planted planet

cannot plan for this.

Or can it?

Is that a joke.
