the birds are bugs
i like this back yard
i said
glancing from the fire to the overhead
oaks and pine
but
all night
these birds
one in that tree
and usually on in the tree over there
its farther away tonight
than usual
they just go back and forth
i said to john
and later to ezra
i think those are bugs man
no way
yeah
lauren agreed
in fact
knew
that those birds
are bugs
they have like a
violiny sound to them
like wings on wings
like big crickets
that's why swarms are so bad
yall don't get broods in
nebraska?
no way
those are some damn loud bugs
yeah
some big bugs
we get grasshoppers
wait til the locusts come out

Y'all not yall.
voiliny sound to them"
a qoute
yalls dont worry bout that
they are cicadas
but i'm not from around here
the lack of punctuation is an aesthetic choice
i would prompt another read
if you are troubled by it
and yes
there are many and varied interpretations
it just a peek of sorts
but thank you for your vote
