Beyond I can see

Beyond, I can see

The birds are outnumbered here.
They do the best the can.

They snatch the nibblets
left behind on the grass
under the picnic tables.

Grocery bags
are snagged by fences
or flutter in the trees

Lunch and dinner
leftovers are left over
on the curbs.

But I can see sunflowers
in the garden
across the street.

And I can see the river
twinkling day or night
in the sun or street light.

Beyond, I can see
the skyline in the sunsets
and trains moving east and west.
