Noon Meal
by Dr. Charles A. Stone
|
three hummingbirds
helicoptered around
the feeder
nervous...
there were doves
and squirrels
nearby
deciding
that retreat
was the better
part of valor
they disappeared
instead of warning
the doves
about the squirrels
or reminding
the squirrels
that they couldn’t fly
