a small tin parrot pin - lori laitman lyrics

next to the tiny bladeless windmill
of the salt shaker
on the black tablecloth
is my small tin parrot pin
bought from a bin
75 cents, cheap, not pure tin–an alloy
some plastic toy tin?
the actual pin, the pin that pins the pin
will fall off soon
and thus the parrot
if i wear it, which i will
on my lapel. i’ll look down
and it’ll be gone
let it be found by a child
or someone sad, eyes
on the sidewalk, or what a prize
it would be for a pack rat’s nest
my parrot’s paint
is vivid: his head’s red, bright yellow of breast
and belly, a strip of green
then purple, a soft
creamy purple, then bright–you know
the color–parrot green
wing fеathers. tomorrow i think
i’ll wear it on my blue coat
tonight, somеone whom i love
sleeps in the next room
the room next to the room with the black tablecloth
the salt shaker, the parrot pin
she is very sleepy
and less impressed than i
with my parrot
with whom, with which i
am very pleased
