Lucky
to be living
celebrating sunsets
seasons
to be lying
departing from truths
breaking hearts
you’re lucky to be
Ducks on a High School Football Field
scrounge green grass
swallow hard
gulp
100’s of ducks
waddling on high school property
minding own business
pesticides not used
ducks maintain grass
for weeks on end
where’s the water they so desperately need
with only a pool nearby…
duck tanning
what are they doing there
across the sky
feathers
careful or not
it’s here
taking lives
changing the world
unrecognizable
the end of the world commences
and the lucky ones can only cringe
at their survival
the first wave
the second
third...
a return to normal is only the test
passing it will be the jolt
