crows fat and happy
hanging out at building sites

three verses laughing
unseen in the treesβplaying

counting out with his fingers

their cold wet noses
eskimo kisses at dawn
wake up and feed us

roar of leaf blowers
on weekend mornings
pax suburbia

lays down her robe of flowers
embraces the land

carpenters next door
serenading each other
their homes faraway

books of poetry
piled up next to a teevee
power cord unplugged
