Shut Up, Bird

by Jefferson Hansen

Shut up, bird,
your chirping bores
into me like
water torture
I guess.
Why not find
a human tune
go Waylon
Jennings
on us talk
about being
"lonesome ornery
& mean"? That
we can relate
to
As is
you speak only
to your own
species
bugging me
& at least
some of
them.
