Secret by Naomi Shihab Nye

Secret
How can I be in love with a bus
going by at 6 A.M.
when no one I know is riding it??

Swoosh of tires in the rain -
the hummingbird in the zinnia patch
doesn't find a single flower worth 
sinking her beak into.
She's a choosy hummingbird!!
                  I'm a choosy hummingbird
All day I dip and dive

twice as alive

as yesterday.
