how in the world
how in the world does that small yellow bird not fall off of that wire
how in the world with this bullwhipping wind shrieking by
how can anything hope to fare well
with a wind cold enough to chill hell
when night’s jaws open wide
how do small yellow birds make it by
how in the world will the luggage
and passenegers all leave the ground
how in the world will they find where they need to be found
how can aeroplanes climb into blue
how do small yellow birds make it through
on a planet rotating
how can anything possibly fly
how can a world be so full of wonder
and so filled with trouble too
how in the world will this torn little prayer make it so far upstream
how can i know you and understand
just what you mean
by quantum mechanics
and red maple leaves
by moments we’re dancing
and hours we grieve
by days slipping by
and by small yellow birds
