If Only The Birds Could Bite... Poem by RIC BASTASA

If Only The Birds Could Bite...



a tree is barking
a dog
the river is jumping
over a mountain
stars sail the sea
ripe guavas ascend
to the skies

i laugh. I regret
having not really
ignored these absurd
happenings.

you are one of these.
for which i have
just ignored.

i am a little boy
playing my marbles
in the park and
there you are
assuming the form of
a dog,

barking, and barking,
if only the birds
could bite.
