Raven
On a grey October morning
in the Safeway parking lot
I see the Raven.
He's embarrassed to see me,
won't look me in the eye,
and shuffles apologetically away.
I wonder how he knows.
Later over drinks
he explains
the story's written on my coat
for any bird to see
and I tell him
to take his wise bird routine
somewhere else.
