day attempts beginning

with indecision

gray, sun, gray, sun

the world waits a verdict

birds with heads under wings

peer out, checking

should they sing or hide

cats hide nose in paws

and feign sleep

trees at attention, waiting

waiting, waiting

for the crescendo crash

of the overture that will

announce the plot

but day continues

undecided

life a game of billiards

and we remain

bouncing off the shoulders

of each other
