starling


Starling, you should sit still more often, in the right light.
Few are aware of how beautiful you really are.
When you do sit, you sit too high.
Or, you're busy fighting over something you don't need.
You make the blue jays look like gentlemen.

I understand you've reached an agreement with the other birds at the carport diner.
They've decided to let you and your outlaw friends stay, provided you shut-up.
And fight, only among yourselves.
They said, any infraction and the bouncer is going to
chase your ass, all the way back to Central Park.

Here may be the best audio library to date, for bird songs. The birds listed, are from the UK, but it's rich with information and I've found it to be very useful in the art of teasing cats (you'll need quicktime).

Poetry, friend. You do it well, both the visual and the verbal.

I like starlings. None around here, though. Way too many bouncers.
