Yesterday's News
Their fussing over nesting material.
One sparrow has a lot to say
the other just shuffles her butt feathers.
The sun has got itself snagged like a balloon
on a high twiggy branch.
Foliage rustles where bushy tails whisk.
Some guy down the way
is using a buzz saw.
His ear protectors muffle the sound
of angry squirrels.
The sparrows are now throwing
pieces of yesterday’s free newsletter
at each other.
A hush falls for a moment
when an Amazon van
arrives to deliver a box to a doorstep.
A stray breeze slaps the ears
of a cat as it watches the sparrows.
The everyday ruckus resumes
as the morning sun escapes.
