Observation

Observation

the pollen

arrives

at the same time

the clocks

spring forward

Sunday

yellow dust

in the air

and then it’s gone

a bed of grass

filled with flowers

as the butterflies

blink across

the blue bird

in the window

sits for a second

as the squirrels race

up and down the tree

so much activity

even now

the ants are rallying

plotting and planning

how to get in the car

each day is different

underwater

the fish are zooming

around

not worried about

the hook

or the crane

they know how

to adapt

to adjust

animals are good

at that

humans

not so much
