Birds, My Thoughts

Amazing these creatures.
They keep coming back to build a nest on my porch.
I say no, but they do not listen.

Without asking , they build anyway.
So I knock it down again and again and again.

Birds are psychotic I say, but just maybe it's me
I quite enjoy the battle.

After a time I ask why.
Why do they keep coming back.

Then it dawns and I see no leaves in the trees.
Oh I think. They are not psychotic at all.
They are so smart. My porch shelters them from the weather, which 
I say in a psychotic way.

Maybe im  insane instead. Doing the same thing over and over
expecting a different end to the story.

Now wait a minute!  
So do they.
