a bucket of ice water

i set out a bucket of ice
water
for the squirrels,
the big fat one, who runs
the show
hops off the fence
and gives me the thumbs up,
he crawls in
and floats on his back,
a few skinny
squirrels dip their toes
in beside him.
he pays them no mind.
it's hot out.
i call him little 
Soprano.
