a sky full of birds

a full two days before the moon was full

of itself so many here on planet earth were

 

full of themselves in weirder ways than

they normally are full of it – driving fast-

 

er, cutting off other drivers, flipping birds

left and right and with the courage of a left-

 

handed flight of the bird right out of their

open driver side car window, birds flap-

 

ing in the wind –a pretty bold move when

usually the driver could only muster the

 

courage of a right-handed bird held up

between bucket seats through the middle

 

of the car and visible through the rear wind-

ow. a left-handed bird out the window is stupid

 

because such a gesture might provoke full-

moon road-rage resulting in serious bodily

 

injury or perhaps even death especially as the

day of the full moon neared, but then again,

 

as stated earlier, people were acting weird-

er than usual. i hated to think what the next

 

two days and nights on the roads of america

might mean for a guy who normally drives

 

slowly but on full moons drives even slower so

more cars would be on his tail feathers flipping birds.
