National Bird

People in cars are

aiming their lenses

at eagles perched

by the reservoir

more by the day

people that is

thanks to facebook

and the daily paper

someone could sell

t-shirts and beer

and ammunition

while in this clearing

field a flock of

ordinary robins

alights in the trees

above the mud road

and those turned inward

are happy for the moment.
