Alert buzzards of yesteryear
have come to claim what they left,
but again I stand
to shoo them away.
The water’s on for a pot of tea.
Scarecrow drinks while birdies get gone.

The slick of paint’s a wave to ride
till you’re perched upon the crest that’s dried
Like Satan in Job in need of a job,
testing the rest (at God’s request?),
every last link to see what gives
To see what one does
when not a day.
Maybe there’s something he needs.
Can I be of some assistance?
No, we’re fine here:
we love the mist
of shiftless play.
