Don't Miss It

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I was clattering away
at these Keys
and,
KER-THUNK!
A Kingbird hit the window.
I had been anxiously
awaiting their return.
He seemed to say:
"What are you doing inside?
Notice me.
The Whole World
is turning outside
in this Glorious Spring.
Don't miss it."
And so, Dear Reader,
why are you staring
at this screen?

Note: I put the stunned Kingbird in a closed brown paper bag. In 3 minutes, I heard his agitated sound inside the bag. He was ready. I released him to the wing.
