I know why the caged bird sings...
It's because there's a cat out there
and he's purring and preening for me
there's opera on the radio
there's pasta on the stove
he works on a thorn in his paw
i fight for his attention
but i am awkward and have forgotten
all my best dances
i compete with the am/fm
and sing a perfect fifth alongside the soprano
now i've got him
i sing my best song
he forgets his pain
his gaze sustains
he doesn't see the cage.
