Actually Really Smart
Sarah Velk
crows sit high in a barren tree
surveying la terre gris
if they had teeth they’d chomp at us
and they’d laugh when we jumped
if the birds can sing then so can i.
if you can be mean then i'll be a terrorist.
if the dirt road corrupts the air with dust
we’ll wait for the rain.
