A Kiwi in a Forest of Legs

What does our world looks like from the outside? 

Is it a tiny drop of rain, 

shining bright as a gem, 

sitting atop a fresh blade of grass? I

s it a vibrant, dancing star, 

guiding any others 

who should peek its distant light? 

Perhaps it is an elusive, 

puffball of a kiwi bird, 

darting between the forests of legs 

on a busy New York sidewalk. 

A passing stranger might wonder 

at something so curious 

and out of place. 

However, 

before they can fumble for their phones 

and capture it for karma, 

before they can google 

whether the kiwi bird 

is known to live in major north american cities, 

before they check their newspapers 

for reports of escaped kiwi's, 

we'll have drifted out of sight, 

leaving them wondering, 

and perhaps 

with a little smile on their face.
