PEOPLE, MOTHERFUCKER, PEOPLE! The first ideology is restraint For you, but really for my sake I will keep my big mouth shut The second is moderation I haven’t yet figured out how to make you—you, not me— less extreme, intense, or violent Neither restraint nor moderation applies to birds— more and more I notice them and although I own a pair of binoculars I haven’t looked to know the birds any better— haven’t learned their names, calls, or chirrups but I do notice the color of their throats and this counts for something Where I live and work only one species has survived the latest disaster Where have all the starlings gone? Does the flycatcher still trill?
