i saw the birds
on Doppler radar
mass of green
leaves take flight
covers oklahoma
in bird shit
at least I parked
in the garage
at least the
earth tore itself
asunder maybe
it feels a little
better off dead
is that one of
those sayings
the ones where
there is more
to it than
people know
curiosity killed
the cat
but the satisfaction
brought it back
jack of all trades
but master of none
still better than
master of one
how many trades
have I mastered, jack
i say one is better than
none
but i can’t condone
this poetry it
doesn’t exactly put
food on the table
hone your skills, jack
learn how to read
the patterns in the
birds
of a feather
flock together
only a creature
that tastes flight
can flee
an earthquake
