My back porch rail is
a staging area for sparrows
planning their approach to
the feeder next door. No
bird-on-a-wire tightrope, it is
wide enough for half a dozen
of them side by side. So
it gives three of them
in a line time

to think
before
they dive

into the crowd,
snatch something
they thought

they saw
to carry
away.

There are always seeds in the feeder
in Winter. I give them pause.
