in the high grass,
only his tail showing,
the young cat bats at the yellow

on the Ford roof
surveying his green world
full of birds & squirrels. There goes a
bluejay.

Angry
mockingbird mom
scolds, divebombs Boots-the-cat

by the window,
I see a bluebird at
the birdbath. It dips in twice, then
flies off.

Daddy
bluebird bathes. Soon,
a robin flies in, up
in a menacing leap. But Dad's
not scared.
