Morning Meeting

The birds don't need a pot of coffee
for their morning meeting in the tree
outside my window. No one is getting

fired. The quarterly reports are
projecting sustained growth and the whole
company is expanding steadily.

Once the news of this is announced
there is a consensus of chirps
at their good fortune.

I've been listening in to their meetings,
watching them come and go in their
business casual plumage.

It's a good time to be a bird. I hear
some of them are looking for branches
in trees by beachside real estate.
