three magpies, first i thought
invaded my lawn
inhabited usually but now deserted
by those numerous nattering sparrows
the tiny birds i fed
to their full stomach
ungrudgingly with my generosity
i curtailed towards my kith, kin and kind
first i considered the three magpies
as intruders bent to take advantage
of my kindness
declared in my new bird-feeder
but soon as the three ignored
and went past my exhibit
i realized myself a stupid selfish glutton
that wants not to lose my control
