Bird Feeder

MarcWalk

Is it not a decadent moment in human history

that we have come to prefer the sound of birds

over the sounds of each other?

Putting up the bird feeder

Spicy food that deters the squirrels 

but attracts the birds who sing

Perhaps, I miss the songs from the city

and prefer the sound of humans 

to the sound of birds.
