12.7.16 Out front

in the early morning light of a not-too-cold-yet day,
I shuffle in my nightgown and easy slipped-on sandals
prompted by the early arrivals, all looking in the window,
all urging me forth with such easy peasy meals they can't believe it,
the new young ones, all shocked as heck at the cold nights that haven't even
shown their true colors yet. At the crowding into bird houses, those that can,
and hitting up the feeder early as can be, for some crazy easy pickings all laid out
for all to see.
