what's the rush

what i like

about birds is that they find

their own

lane

to fly in, and don't tail

gate each other.

there's no honking

of their beaks,

no yelling,

or berating each other,

no flipping of wing

if one is too slow,

or too fast,

or wobbles all over the place.

they're well behaved

these birds

i've observed.

they all seem happy to travel

at their own

sweet pace.
