Two geese yapping
non-stop
flying south low
over wind-racked water
Paired for life
this old-wing couple
barking for Florida
bitching about the trip
“Why go so early
we’ll hit the hurricanes”
“Flap it up can’t you”
“Too many tourists
let’s wait a month”
“Let’s not”
And so on until they’re out of sight
– Joan A W Kimball
