Thru an opened bedroom (albeit screened) window...

Accessible twenty four hours a day
seven days a week,

fifty two weeks a year.

 

Spring 2022 Curtain call at
Highland Manor Apartments unit b44

framing Mother Nature nook

ever changing scene unfolds
analogous to storybook.

 

I espy (hear and see)

while sitting at table

housing Macbook Pro

plethora of wildlife

on a band dinned patch of woodland,

yet slated to resemble cookie cutter vinyl city

that sprout like mushrooms and/or toadstools.

 

Yours truly bares witness to fauna

(most likely oblivious

to encroaching urbanization
most often becoming endangered
and/or extinct creature if lucky
enough becoming cherished, loved, valued

property of zoo keeper),

 

who rarely encounter Homo sapiens

while innocuously and innocently

buzzfeeding, kickstarting pinteresting

linkedin with rites of Spring

fawning, matchmaking, twittering

regarding instinctual self survival tactics.

 

At a safe distance removed

our perch (chance) analogous

to one way mirror,

whereby yours truly and the missus

watch the nature channel live

never tiring at random antics

exhibited by aural and visual

courtesy spontaneous unrehearsed

Animal planet productions.

 

While astutely, fascinatingly, keenly, quietly

observing semi, quasi, pseudo... wild kingdom

flashback in space/time continuum occurred.

 

I observed banned band

of untamed ruffians and outlaws

use wildland as hideout from y\'all

sip pose zid smart alecks

who would be surprised country bumpkin

like me can rattle off...

courtesy nasal twang

 

(or because of) Schwenksville drawl

which can pose difficulty understanding

attributed nysc with submucous cleft palate,
hence droning voice of mine
in tandem with puny size
found yours truly scapegoat
bullies taunted and teased


I felt analogous being
just another brick in the wall

until sharecropper mama and papa Joad

headed west Okie dokie

with truant steering da wheel

driving off into sunset via UHaul

passing zee monotony

 

doodling Yankee went hoo(t)\'n and hollerin
across this country tis of thee

imitating moost every doggone animal

earn\'n chump change telling tales tall
like dis here mumbo jumbo

his birthplace home to countless

life forms large and small

some skitter, slither, scamper,

 

jump, hustle, hop, fly, crawl

and we even encountered

mighty big beef eating fellas

who beat up punks

getting in barroom brawl

adieu from folk\'s with simple minds,
cuz nuttin else to write dat\'s awl!
