I am a bird a little one one that if you squeezed it you would crack it crack it open one with a speck of sand beak and plastic eyes a bird that sings to speak  sings to demand help and food and geolocate I am a little bird Do you know me Would you crack me Would you stop and pray for me knit into the road honor the speck of God's time  He used to knit me in my mother's egg I've fallen from the tree and no one's here to feed me my cats would kill me stop to pray and honor me with a song and share the kill with mother I am a little bird and you're crooked Mexico City, you're sunken and I am cracked Knit into the ice cream stand flour and lard and street meat on a silver saucer  I am a little bird and I know nothing about me know nothing about heritage and culture  I am in the bird majority I am a little bird and if my wing is broken at the buckle put me down  I might mend  i am an abashed bird boxed up and a bandana pillow She found me she sees me she prays for me  like a mother
