Last night I saw such an amazing sight,
Unseen by no-one but I and a kite.
Flying in winds and pat~speckled in rain,
Not really, just made up, for rhyme here contained.

The city has its own man-made geology.
Stuck to the ground like pheasants, I wonder if people even notice the lumen coming through the haze from the birds on the roofs on this grey morning.

I hear birds on the roof. They are tweeting, and chirping, away the haze beneath a grey sky.
Below, the hustle of the day roars by on the main road like piranhas caught in a current. No mountains to climb for escape. Only walls, and roofs, to fiddle on. Spread the word.

I've never seen the moon
Under Australian skies
I believe, I'm told, it's upside down
To some dingo's prying eyes
It's all down to perspective
Earth's curvature, angle's slant
Does the dog still howl at it¿
Perhaps it does but back to front

I hear birds on the roof
Just before you prompted to write
So focused was I in silence
On birdsong nearby, end of night
Could it be we have a synergy
Thoughts connected on and inline?
This, not the first time
Unknowingly inspired a rhyme

Monday morning one hour late
Our best laid plans
have been delayed
History will not be made
here where the schedule
is sacred
and the sin of tardiness
simply is not tolerated
So we roll to survive
on this alternate timeline
where variables
unaccounted for
