haiku 

the rim of the birdbath

robin's hesitant

hesitant ado

poem

a plague of rats

avoiding the word

amuses reality

but at least the cars

are still polished

because there has to be

something that 

still shines

more homeless

more cities ban

fly from tree to tree

to have some rest and

in poor cities

some litter 

is a bundle of cries

and even

when removed

there are still

echoes 

from these walls

with cracks
