Hunters Meet
It’s another Monday afternoon
The postal route is done for the day
Did it all without getting rained on
Still haven’t shaved
Wolfed down a partially nuked sausage croissant
The still frozen bit was crunchy cool
Made me feel like a teenager again
A dragon fly landed on my windshield wiper
Stayed for seven stops
Eating a smaller winged thing with relish
I don’t know why but
I stopped the van
And got out to put him on a bush
He flew away as soon as I stepped down
The oldest recorded life form on earth
And unchanged
Humbling to say the least
