Single Bird

On a wire    birds perch together   lined up against gray sky
one is alone         away from the group      seems banished
from the rest    is it by choice or have the rest          ignored
lone bird    in his tiny quest for togetherness          They say
“birds of a feather flock together"       but           I perceive
isolation                     loneliness           perhaps he is like me
 
As I walk below power lines     those birds     evenly spaced
placed         side by each        OCD-like          except for one
doesn’t seem to belong                do birds        have time out
for behaviors        unbefitting the flock     if so       will he be
welcomed back          when his time has passed         or is he
forever       single bird like me      destined     to be alone
