my random day

silently i tread in a garden i know well
the wind blew by as my thoughts raced around in my mind
the fog beginning to thicken
then a strange thing happened...

i played a game of tag with a bird (i think i lost)
i strode into the gardens as i always do
keeping to the path and then for no real reason
i decided to cut across the open area of grass
this little bird flying close to the ground buzzed right in front of me
i stopped and smiled and thought no more of it
then as i started to move
it came around again
"so you want to play... little bird"
i then proceed to watch him as i made my way across the field
as i walked it circled me with every step it closed its loop
then broke off just as i came with-in 6 inches or so
I followed him and here he came again
i tried to anticipate where it was headed to get closer
circling each other, feinting this way and that
we played for about 5 minutes

i must of looked like a crazy person to anyone watching from far off
zig-zaging on the green with no apparent rhyme or reason

as i finally made my way off the grass and toward my destination
it flew off (i think to boast of a game that it had won)

i walked off the green to one of my favorite views of the city
for some reading and a sip of my coffee

i love this city...
