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.
