The morning after it had been super-windy

it was still super-windy

and standing on my balcony

we saw three doves flying around.

 

One of them was all-white,

two of them were white with black tails.

 

I thought the black-tailed doves were bad omens

but when we got in my car,

“This Is How We Do It” was playing on 92.3,

followed by “I Can’t Go For That,”

Logic dictates that each one of those songs

cancelled out one black-tailed dove,


and we drove off into the day 

ahead by one all-white dove.
