My grandpa walked out of the nursing home
Wandered a mile away
Stood on the corner and spun all around
Which way is home? he fretted, he wondered, he worried

Just like the little brown bird
that showed up this morning, hopping frantically
under desks, beneath tables
over extension cords and power cords strewn like snakes
across the carpeted landscape
confusing and confounding
– a little brown bird
frantically pacing like my lost grandpa
looking for a way out, trying to find his way home.
