It was the year of not being able to find the birds in the sky
And the sky was everywhere scored by starling cloud With starting gun
Those who listened faithfully could locate the patterns they made
As the sky was everywhere and the music leaked thru from the other side
It was the year when the other side of everywhere first began to take shape
It took it from the age of sentiment and from the utopian impulse
From flowering cherries and the conquest of space
It took shape and made with it an aviary resembling planet earth
It was the year avairy earth graffiti first appeared in Brooklyn Then Paris Bogata Akbar
Entire city blocks were painted overnight with the thrilling songs of migration
Hundreds of The Friends of Aviary Earth groups were formed on Facebook
The virtual feather became the defacto trademark of the moment
It was the year of the birth and death of the virtual feather
This much I remember The sky was everywhere filled with conquering sentiment
Music leaked thru the flowering trademarks It took shape
and made with it hundereds of impulsive songs resembling planet earth
