On a phone call with my brother,
With
the river at my feet,
He
was startled to hear birdsong,
City
avians a’tweet.
And
this morning, on a lamppost,
Sat
a regal hawk, intent
On
whatever he was thinking,
As
some pigeons came and went.
Then
this afternoon I spotted,
In
a garden with my friend,
One
red cardinal plus sparrows,
Nature’s
urban dividend.
You
may be surprised to hear it,
But
the city’s habitat
Gives
me lots to make me smile,
Long
as I don’t see a rat.
