And actually here's-- I'll finish one last poem,
a mockingbird transcription.
And this is also an Arizona piece because I was on my way
to Organ Pipe the last time I spent a good amount of time
there, which is sadly 2003.
It's been a while.
And I was driving down toward Ajo in the middle of the night,
and I saw something flutter against the windshield.
And I pulled over and I said, what is that.
And there was this mockingbird singing in a tree,
in the middle of the night, as they do.
And so I just I sat, completely enchanted,
listening to this mockingbird.
And trucks were coming by and it was actually even picking up
the Doppler of the passing truck in its song.
And so I just took a certain part--
OK, I'm just going to take transcription
and this is what the mockingbird said, 2003.
March, 2003.
Hurt, hurt, hurt.
Breach, breach, breach, breach.
Heat, heat, heat.
Flight, flight, flight, flight.
Glow, glow, glow.
Clip, clip, clip.
Tear, tear, tear.
Chip, chip, chip, chip, chip, chip.
Wheel, wheel, wheel.
Hit, hit, hit, hit.
Flight, alight, flight.
Hurt, hurt.
Fleet, fleet, fleet.
High, high.
Shot, shot.
Highly, highly.
Light, light, light.
You, you, you.
Bleed, bleed, bleed.
Ooh,
ooh, ooh, ooh.
Hurt, hurt, hurt, hurt.
Hulo, hello, hulo, hello.
Heat, heat, heat.
Seat, seat, seat.
Fight it it, fight it it.
Flee he he.
Tied tight, tied tight.
Retreat, retreat.
Free treat, free treat.
Teat, teet, teet, teet.
Truly, truly, truly.
Fleet, fleet, fleet, fleet.
Flew.
Highlight, highlight.
Shoot you, shoot you.
Hun stew, hun stew.
See you, see you, see you.
Truly, truly, truly, truly.
