Finches In Town
trending chirps,
sound of old-fashioned typewriter clicks,
how glibly they report
above our busy human lives.
none of us, though,
read such uncivilized periodicals,
shuttling in our washed-and-waxed cubisms.
there’s no room
in our appointment books,
not for such fussy miracles of flight.
goals impinge.
invoices call.
computers to feed
with every aspect of our stress.
we don’t really know,
not at all,
what the penniless birds
are writing.
