Bluejay

Something about strawberry jam

and a tram ride to Neverland.

I’ve heard that a bird in hand is worth a fistful

of lipsticks and bellybutton rings

from the clearance rack.

I’ve heard that to only lipsync is an attack

at the toes and the backs of the knees

of a distracted society.

I’ve heard the bird

and I am positive

that it is not the word.
