fly away

coffee in hand
while sitting—just
outside
the café
he is just
talking
to himself
telling me his
new direction
I turn
my attention to
the bird just to
the right of
conversation
this little creature busy
building a spring
nest
such a productive
day for this
winged
thing
I shift my eyes
back to
the moving
mouth
he is still just
talking
while I
fly
away
