You have to laugh —
a cardinal sent packing
by a sparrow!
Ten thousand birds,
one song:
“Here I am.”
A flock of school children
Off on a morning jaunt
Startling blackbirds
Pigeons are the German shepherds
Of the world of birds
Low-slung, big shouldered
Built for the kind of strength
Comfort requires
Escalades to the finch’s Audi
Or the robin’s Chevrolet
Sparrows scurry
Cardinals and woodpeckers burst in
With guns blazing
Pigeons browse
Sublimely unaware
Of their own intrusiveness
Only the eyes reveal
Inner fires
