Un-Feathered Nests
The geese have migrated
taking many songbirds with them.
Some Canada Geese
have chosen to stay in the parking lots
by the busy shops, ensconced
within their un-feathered nests.
All day they direct the traffic,
attack cars if they come too near.
Night and day we Ohioans
try to ignore them,
but the geese
have fluffed up their goosy egos,
and will bar the way
of weary travelers
until they choose to waddle
disdainfully away.
Honk at them
and they honk back.
In Florida the songbirds
party-on
giving not a thought
to the still migrating,
still honking.
