poem of the day July 20  

An improbable

chain of events

in the barn

has left me with

a big porcupine 

trapped in an

Indonesian cabinet

It all started with me

packing for the flea

garage door left open

mating birds fly in

birds build nest

lay eggs have babies

don't want to hurt birds

garage door kept open

letting porcupine walk in

I arrive see porcupine

porcupine runs I chase

straight into Indonesian cabinet

I quickly close door tight

trying to digest

the randomness of

cause and effect
