birds
on the fence,
all sizes and colors,
waiting for me
to fill
the bird feeder.
the squirrels
too,
rubbing their paws together
waiting
for me to pour
the seed
into the green metal
house
hanging in the yard.
why work
for worms
and berries
and whatever else they eat,
why forage the woods,
burrow
and dig, fly all over town,
when here,
the food is free.
