Migratory birds
fly south for the winter
to escape the cold,
find good feeding grounds.
Imagine their shock
when they finally land
in North Carolina
and it’s so cold
they just keep going
until they reach
Miami Beach
that’s so crowded
with SUV’s and hummers
they can’t even find
a place to land
and get something to eat.
