The crow, parrot, raven, and parakeet Meet across the cracked street Scuttle along the wrecked concrete Where human feet once walked Flutter up steep uneven steps Not missing those tripping fools who Cracked the earth with metal tools That split lumber with chainsaws That destroyed thin and thick limbs With loud rusted wood chippers That incinerated hated legal papers Shredding evidence with precision These birds do not miss one person Just go searching the soft grounds for deliciously slimy worms
The wolf, coyote, and lonely fox Hop and trot from here to cross Separate paths to their favorite snacks Bloated bodies swelled with stinky fat Exposed corpses sitting back so that They could watch their favorite clips Catch invisible monsters on their phones People who now become kibbles and bits For two howlers and one quiet hunter
A mouse, possum, and racoon Hunt under the split moon Going through the monsoon Of decaying human garbage Devouring all the waste they want Finally, free from the humans Who used to hunt and **** them Now they just have to watch out for Other local predators
But all these animals are so much better For the lack of such a destructive species
