American Robin at Frank G. Bonelli Regional Park
San Dimas, Southern California

Noble:
red head
raised high,
the robin
bounces
steadily, beady
eyes glimmering
with the
spring rain
in such splendour,
lone on the
beaming emerald
do I notice:
Stringy worms
dangling from
its resurfaced
beak;
munching, it is
a mortal like any other;
the rain,
fortuitous
Cantopop sails
in from the adjacent
living room;
eyelids painted and
eyes scrunched in
synchronous exertion:
dolled-up girls
and girly
boys
Things
seem not so
cheap
anymore…
