On the Advantages of Staying High
I go
outside at
6:45 A.M.
for morning
cigarette after
W & T
stop over
for dinner
(Bar B-Q
pork tenderloin
and chicken,
pasta and
Caesar salads,
a fine
fine peach
cobbler with
some Breyer’s
and coffee)
and it
is cool
in the
morning with
fog and
all sweeping
in off
the Sound,
and I
sit in
my little
red Dodge
neon rental
car having
my addictions
and trying
to decide
which way
to wander
this free
day: north
or south,
or east,
when I
notice, sitting
in row
on Puyallup
garage door,
mosquito hawks
four with
three lined
up like
tic-tac-toe
X’s and
fourth maybe
foot and
half above,
and just
as I
survey this
scene a
mother-father-baby
family of
peacocks go
peck-peck-pecking
across front
yard having
breakfast and
mama she
just ignores
me sitting
in open
door seat
and walks
‘round past
my little
red neon
and just
pecks-pecks-pecks
the three
mosquito hawk
X’s right
up leaving
lone survivor
just half
a neck
beyond reach.
So you
see, my
poetic friends,
it appears
that there
most certainly
is an
evolutionary advantage
(after all)
for staying
HIGH!
