Goosely Translated, a Poem

It ain’t what they call you, it’s what you answer to. W.C. Fields
GOOSELY TRANSLATED
Two Canada geese
settle into an angled parking space
in a Wal-Mart lot.
They take turns
sharing shreds of bun
left in a torn red McDonald’s box.
One goose eats.
The other stands and watches.
They protect one another.
A car honks.
The blast interrupts their feast.
Harsh and threatening
human voices call to the birds
as they flee.
The geese answer
from their aerial perspective.
I interpret their comeback
into English.
Excellent volume.
Lacks style.
