important product placement

just have to support my peeps down at the boogie wipes factory.

Yesterday I was laying out by the pool waiting for andrew to come over so that we could go take pictures (only one of which was fbook worthy- the rest are sosososo gorgeous thank youso much)
And The ropes from my wedding are still hanging up in the back yard
a bird came and sat on one and I could only see it by looking through the pool fence
which looked like jail bars
black and square.

The thought came to me
whoever invented the term "free as a bird"
never owned a cockatoo.
or whatever those birds are.

and I thought
man,
if A was here right now
this would be the perfect shot.
A free bird
who didn't even know
it was
stuck in a perspective cage.

when it flew away I realized that I was the one inside the bars.
Maybe it sat there so long and stared at me
thinking
whoever invented the term free as a human
has never seen one in hello kitty underpants
trying to tan inside the fence of
the little pool here.

(forgive the underpant comment but it's too true because I left all of my swimsuits in sundance. go figure)
