"Twenty Years from Now"

if I don't write about this
you won't know that last wednesday
there were two very large armadillos
eating undisturbed at the feeding area
just on the outside edge of gypsys fence
she pointed them until
they wandered away into the woods
today there was a very large opossum
sleeping undisturbed on the branch of a tree
just next to gypsys fence
she held her point
through the fence a long time
when I got back to the cabin
yesterday afternoon it had
snowed dove feathers on the cat porch
a good time was had by all
as I write I see the hummingbirds
finding the spring sweetness
of the blooming yuccas
the crows called to us this morning
as they flew by the cabin
important things we want you to know
twenty years from now
