What Is He Thinking?   1 comment

What is he thinking
bobbing his tail
up and down
our curiosity shared
not knowing what
the other is thinking.

Conveying a cool air
with an eye on me
only a cocky tease
when his attention
is not me, but
a nearby lizard —

What was I thinking?

He is a joker
Not a singer, he just clicks
To get attention.

Protected
by the cholla cactus
the yellow-eyed
big bird
sits
on the nest
while her mate
continues
to gather twigs
no insult to his
male hood.

A capitalist society requires a culture based on images.
It needs to furnish vast amounts of entertainment in order to
stimulate buying and anesthetize the injuries of class, race, and sex.”

I watch him as he ponders my presence,
only a temporary distraction from
the lizard now locked in step 
blinding into the tree bark
disposing of intricate patterns.
Soon the runner disappears 
into some unknown world,
no known direction, dissolving 
into the brink, yet native lands.

As if to welcome us back, this roadrunner was in the olive tree on our patio. Nice to see you, my friend.

Up in the patio tree
Beep-beep back at you.
