~Avian Flu~

The crows

have fallen ill today,
as crap blows around
the rage club's dumpster
and ruins the biker's view.

The choppers,
parked along the curb,
lean slightly
like the crows
who have fallen ill today.

"We're sorry."
Moan the city managers.

"We should have known
the crows were due
to take sick one day.

It's been reported
in all the papers."

And now the bikers

are nabbed selling hotdogs
without a permit,

while too, the Seattle rain has begun,
but down must come the tarp,
the bun's only protection,
and no one to eat them,
'cause the crows
have fallen ill today.
