catching in midair
solitary golf cart stops
middle of sidewalk
those ducks must know you
not that way with everyone
one of those is mean
talented ducklings
catching four bites in a row
so not an athlete
eight ducks,jumping dogs
bread falling right in their beaks
always miss fifth time
not their fault it’s mine
“give them what they want
and you’ll always have a crowd”
next couple enter
sitting on the bench to watch
bringing a haiku
they ask me
because they are so well trained
if i am here everyday
if i only
had bread everyday but i
only have chinese food
and a bread maker
in the box for two years now
do not tell keen ducks
*
( all you have to do
everyone will bring haiku
feeding friendly ducks )
( she came in slippers
saying oh well i’m here now
told her ducks don’t mind )
