Clever Move

In a parking lot were
Many Gulls, a few Crows -
Picking at scraps of food left
For them - not healthy choices by
Any means.

A Gull hovering over a Crow -
Watching - waiting - then dropping
Straight down in front of the unwary
Crow - snatching the unsavory scrap
For its very own.

Real life. Fight or flight. But I am still dreaming about a world when sharing is caring. Dreams to come? Many wishes, Kai
