a cardinal quickly came down
into the green grass front lawn
and just as quickly sprang up
onto the sun-faded steel black lamp post
just long enough to steal a smile
from my unexpecting eyes left filled
wondering if the robin who came next
understood his lack of beauty
and what his dull black feathers
look like in reflections.
