Someone had thrown popcorn near the
restaurant.. for the many little sparrows
living in the bushes..
two were squabbling over a kernel..
surrounded by many feet of popcorn..
two humans saw and laughed..
..there was infinite supply
they should not fight over
perceived scarcity
.....
FORGETTING
The daughter bought herself
thousands of dollars of toys
while her father who had
worked so hard for her
.. was living on dumpster
food sprinkled with
cigarette ashes
