Oak tree philosopher

Blue Grosbeak does not sing,

but scolds his cousins --

thieving Grackles, Jays,

Cardinals and Finches --

as if to not waste time

foraging for bugs and grit,

but to help him

build a new empire. . .

equality for all birds. . .

made not with twigs

and leaves, but

with new ideas. . .

a new world order

of the air. . .
