Squirrel Lessons

meet friends precariously
neck bob and finger twitch
precisely and anxious for hoarding

that sock puppet on a tree limb eyeing
anthropomorphic concerns sincerely fidgets a shudder balance

squirrel meat is too tough
even for squirrels
those tails poof and arc
fluff banter conspiring

ribald chase scenes
seem dance defying

mock expectations about gravity
flaunt prescient food attitudes

take daily vacations
nap with a swagger

eat more nuts or rest eagerly
avoid large groups

Our squirrels are eating the wonderful plums on my tree and leaving the skin and nut for Dan who does not like. BL
