There's a rainbow in my breakfast bowl,
And I know not from where it came.
There is no prism hanging in my window,
Only a squirrel staring at me from the bird feeder,
Only new buds on the Serviceberry bush,
There is no optical grating, not a single thing
That explains this rainbow.
I place the rainbow on my hand to raise it,
Seeking its source only to find that my rainbow
Has disappeared, as has the squirrel.
Conclusion: the squirrel must have delivered
The rainbow to my bleary eyes this
Lovely morning.
