Little birds pecking the grass at twilight
Hopping your little birdy hops, do the
Insects come out as the light fades, or is
It just more intimate to share a meal
In candle light at the little Italian place
On the corner? The place with the smell of
Parmesan that has been hung in old gym
Socks. The place that is so dim that you can’t
Tell if what they served is spaghetti in
Red sauce or just a plateful of dead worms.
