Our shoes on their feet!

 

With a pair of binoculars,

Flapping those wings, saw I

A robin sighting me…

Arraigned I was

To trespassed their trail…

I wonder sometime

Am I, studying them

Or are they tracking me?

Once,

I fitted the collars around their necks

Voila!

And they got the “beeps” of my movement

Immobilon!

Straight from my tranquilizer gun…

There went the darts

And trust me…

In place of them

I dozed off whole the day

In the captivity of this life

I am an untamed captive!

They appear decent

Whilst,

With these out-grown- nails and shaggy look

I seem wild

Alas!

In this wild world-

The coin, now, is flipped

We shared those meatballs

At their costs…

Let their fangs pierce

Our skins…

I howl the soreness

Mockingly,

They gossips…

“Let us wear your shoes!”
