my bedroom window is a bus stop for birds
I am already unhappy with my mostly dark condo
too few windows and those that I have face the dark building next door
when I moved in there was a small old air conditioner in one of the bedroom windows
it looks like it is there permanently
I don’t want to try to remove it and I need it on hot summer nights
when all the heat rises into my space
now birds have decided that this air conditioner is some kind of bus stop
they flock to my window chirping clawing
every so often a squirrel and I feel like a sad sad Snow White
these small animals make me sad and tense not like singing
then I feel guilty that I should dislike these creatures
their incessant chirping
the nightmare I had that a bird finally broke through and flew through my room
take out the air conditioner some say
live with the nightmare I say
this stop may just be my own bus stop

About Me
- Theresa
- Theresa began her writing/publishing career in earnest at age 12 with an underground newspaper. It was near the end of 7th grade at a Catholic grade school, the paper was left anonymously around the school. Unfortunately, some of it was left jammed in the old mimeograph machine, and Theresa was the last one seen using it. A good writer, and enterprising, just always leaving one shoe untied. She, and her good friend Mary, were expelled from school.
