"For all my didactic croaks
I have never persuaded anyone
to become a frog."
I hear the robin
"For all my exemplary tweets
I have never persuaded anyone
to become a robin."
About my solitary walk
also the butterfly, the mouse
the ant and the squirrel.
Much improved
I reach a small church
spilling out it's congregation.
Obliged to offer "Good morning"
many 'Good morning's respond
from strangely glowing faces.
I feel it incumbent upon myself
to make a show of moving on quickly
please don't speak further
embarrassing us all
misreading the simple world.
