Robin

Poem #1

Robin sits upon the fence
Sits and waits and deliberates

Cat curled sweetly on the floor
Dog hunched tightly by the door

Robin sits upon the fence
Sits and waits, and deliberates.

Judges humans,
since the cat and dog
do not.

Poem #2

CAT: well you know I always thought that the human being being as it may is something we could use for food and shel--
DOG: but he's my friend
CAT: well either way we're not really criticizing are we
DOG: animals have got no right to judge humans
CAT: right

Peer out the window,
if you see a robin, it
bares your soul.

DOG: there's that one though the oddball
CAT: who
DOG: that robin always judging

Brief second,
a look into the robin's eyes,
sets a goal.

ROBIN: i have no debt to humans so let me be.

Poem #3

I met a man
who once shot down
a little robin by the riverside.

He was a man,
an ordinary man,
of the most ordinary ways,
and he shot down
a little robin by the riverside.

I met a man
who once caged up
a little robin by the window.

He was a man,
an ordinary man,
of the most ordinary ways,
and he caged up
a little robin by the window.

Unassuming, ordinary men.
