. . IDLE A flock of round, tiny gray birds descends on a naked, leafless tree.........then, as if choreographed, 2 or 3 of them at a time hop unto an evergreen where they quickly eat as many white berries as they can.........then return to the leafless tree for a moment, and fly away for good. _______________ The wind is busy making a fuzzy sidewinder cloud out of the sharp white line of an airforce jet-trail drifting above me. _______________ I was going to put the radio on, but the perfect silence here is so beautiful, that I couldn't get myself to do it. _______________ I feel sad with the knowledge that a few thousand transit workers (who earn twice as much as the city's cops and firemen) are holding 7 million New Yorkers hostage during these icecold, last few days before Christmas. _______________ Something's running really fast over my roof. Could be a blackbird. +++++++
