Why does the hummingbird take off
after so
long in hover?
And why did I like the things I
liked
when I
was younger?
The clever posturing, the lesser
games,
and doing
nothing in the summer—
The need for statements always
strong
and
silence without power.
How often did I wonder (did I
wonder?)
about
what I wonder now?
About how to say something and
not be cheated
by the
habits of myself,
About hummingbirds and flowers
and the
different kinds of hunger,
And why I liked the things I
liked
when I
was younger.
