Today I am radiating all that I have done leading up to today. In that way I can dissipate the cumulative and pent up vapors of the past to leave me cool and ready to receive the heat build up from the friction of entering another day.
the poll for the day asked, "Do people care about other's opinions?"
Behaving selcouth Is so last century lad Cut straight to uncouth
Hawk Skylark's selcouth mood made the castle wenches scramble for cover
Talked with an old friend About species return to Our sprawling city
As children there was Few fauna to be found here Not forest preserve
Not in our nearby Neglected river and park Just pigeons and carp
No longer the case Deer, bass, and herons. Oh my In friendly confines
Today on the El After our talk I saw what First seemed a pigeon
Perched on train platform Until I saw the profile Predator. Beak. Eyes.
Large red brown feathers Plume and talons on display Avian hunter
Urban red-tailed hawk Scanning for her next repast No pigeon is she
Her conspicuous instance Went a long way to activating my agency
A Scroll Threw Life 
No pigeon is this, but might she be ‘having an old friend for dinner’?
Sad but true. Life in the food chain 😐
And I have such a hard time with that. 😧😬
Indeed. A fare for all and no fair for anybody. 😔
