Sign of the Times

R.J. Keller

Two fat crows in the middle of the road
fight over a Cheetos bag
taking no note of the juicy roadkill
just three feet away.

  1. Ummmmm, Cheetos. Better than smelly old dead skunk in the middle of the road anyday.

    “Even crows act like eagles when they find a dying snake.” – Ray Wylie Hubbard. Great song…

    Hi, kel!

  2. True. But smelly day old skunk doesn’t leave orange powder on your lips. Or, in this case, beak.
