The sparrows hop around from spot to spot
Never silent: never still: always chirping till
Someone comes too close & hushes them
Then they settle for a little while: just waiting
Until that danger is past: it doesn't last!
Then they're at it again: chirping aloud
Then getting louder & louder still: at will
Then the hush comes upon them again
Not for long: they are soon in song: singing!
I come back to myself in silence: enjoying the peace
For just a little while: then I realise just where I am
I am not sitting in a bushy tree: these noisy little birds
Are not really sparrows: they are little girls: in the library!
