Analysis of The Birds (2)
I came home that day thinking
How inhhuman human(s) can be for killing
Those "human friendly" fine-feathered creatures
Of land, trees (and balconies) and air,
And still walk the face of the earth--free.
Yes, those birds, aptly dabbed "man's oldest
Feathered friends" were of the same flock that
Would visit and tarry...on my balcony before
That, to make them go away,
I'd clap and shout....
Time is, when living in L.A., as I have been
For more than thirty years, a matter
Of learning to like or love and cherish
The sun (much of it), the stars (of Hollywood
That is), the palm trees and--the birds.
