parked or abandoned?

just above on a higher elevation

but in front of that Wayne Gretzky Drive

i sit

watching cars, vans and trucks

life

all moving at 80 kilometers

per hour, or even more

over speeding for sure

i also notice a single car

parked, or abandoned

on shoulders of the same road

am i this car doing poetry?

bird feeder

my new bird feeder, another

avowed addition to my extended solidarity

with the community of winged creatures

had a larger opening at the bottom

for seed to easily slip

soon i realized i made a hole

in my wallet too

i, therefore, covered the gap

with little pebbles to control

the outflow of my loonies

realizing later the very act

of my calculated charity

with all my good intentions

towards my little friends

in fact, i built a solid wall

to shut them out
