MARATHON
Six more miles? Oh, God,
Let me die like what’s-his-name—
Like Pheidippides.
OSPREY
Still taking on airs,
Making a splash at dinner,
Local star keeps up.
HEY!
It surprises me
That what pigeons keep saying
Is “Hai-kuu”…“Hai-kuu.”
PILEATED
A pair of redheads
Jackhammering a spruce stump
Got my attention.
