floats down to the banister
eyeing the feeders
He knows nothing of
his kind's reputation for
poaching at feeders
Yet already he
follows the protocol of
his genetic code
Fly low and nab them
at their most vulnerable:
just fledged or eating
You're a beautiful
specimen, young Cooper, sir
This I don't deny
But I'll be damned if
I let my unsuspecting songbirds
fall prey to your wiles
