some say the hummingbird
can also sing
let us not close the doors
of our minds, tricked by an adjective
let us try to imagine
a tiny voice
I try to picture her vocal chords
but i think I'm going to need a microscope
and an infusion of more imagination
to picture that faint vibration
where does she come in
on the chromatic scale of subtle dreams
how deep is her love and her mark
in the notched handle of time
can I carve a little truth
from the throat of awareness
learn something monumental
from the atoms of little bird
wisdom is everywhere
waiting to be extracted
by the blind, waiting
to be sipped like nectar
by a tiny avian
and men like myself who have a thirst
I wait patiently for her to give up that silly humming
and belt out a Broadway showtune
but I understand I will probably see pigs fly over my house first
oinking like drunken showoffs
the great battle, as I see it, of the showtunes verses the showoffs
can also sing
let us not close the doors
of our minds, tricked by an adjective
let us try to imagine
a tiny voice
I try to picture her vocal chords
but i think I'm going to need a microscope
and an infusion of more imagination

where does she come in
