13,304. HUMMINGBIRD

HUMMINGIRD
What I meant to say was something
like 'necktie to nectar.' A full circle
diatribe as I shout out to the world.
-
Hangmen, of course, just call the knot
a necktie, and they are  -  more or less  -
right. Even the shoemaker examines
the soles of the shoes on the man
left dangling in air.
-
Now, like most of nothing, there's
a tiny bird spinning wings in that
air. Holding in place. Aloft. Ten tons
of energy, in a quarter-ounce bag.
