in the linden tree out front
i hope they are building a nest
to produce more lovely singers
and there’s a lawn mower
down the street spewing exhaust
to tire the efforts of said birds
and judas, the one who carried the money bag,
says, master, couldn’t this front lawn
have been used to grow food for the poor?
chill, judas, says the master
anytime you want
you can grow food
mark 14:7
