I hear Canadian Geese flying
and honking
high in the sky outside my apartment.
I wonder how it feels flying
high in the sky like they do.
Does it make the geese elated?
Do they honk because they’re
exhilarated?
Or is flying and honking just
something they do minus any
elations or exhilarations?
I think they probably just fly,
unlike how I’d soar ecstatically
in the sky — if I could fly.
