Unafraid–

Untested–

Harmless–

Curious–

Free as a dodobird.

 

Reckless, impetuous,

     but stable, since always,

          and free–

As a dodobird.

 

Running, though thinking,

     not stupid, just losing,

          unknowing and living

               and–

Free as a dodobird.

 

Abnormally normal,

     so naturally different–

So rightful,

     so centered, so–

Free as a dodobird.

 

Selfish yet righteous–

Not trying not dying

     but–

 

So timelessly perfect,

    so vulnerable–

 

From running

     to standing

          entirely still–

 

Encountered–

Desired–

Sacrificed–

Slandered

     forever–

Free as a dodobird.
