Roadrunner

Rascally roadrunner in the sun	
finding grasshoppers on the run
feed your babies high protein
build a nest off the ground
in my two live oaks
run up and down
smiling clown
goofy
bird

When
the heat
gets too much
and drinks are few
and baths fewer still
find the nearest sprinkler
a thoughtful human neighbor
has turned on specially for you
repay kindness with showy gusto
