Poem, Catbird, Food, Sleepless Yet Again

Outside Status
May 22, 2025

outside, the catbird yells
despite the sun having gone down
come dawn, it will again
have been yelling for an hour
no concept of light sleep

by my bed, a button
connects to the waffle machine
it’s been trying to murder
it yells, I turn the light on

for six minutes
it stops yelling
while I nap

morning is a breakup
I wasn’t expecting

in catbird signal
