When nature takes it's course

[idiotson]

The fox curled asleep on the back lawn
The magpies, agitated, skip and shriek. A wardance.
The woodpecker skims and plummets between tree and feeder
Tree and feeder
Tree
I tend the onions, rocket and thin the spinach.
Would any of this hold the same fascination
If it wasn’t being played out in the heart of Brixton?

Dad, apparently, was most agitated following Mums visit last week.
This is a new development
Previous to this he has only gotten excited by milk chocolate.
