I SAW TWENTY-TWO SQUIRRELS
Difficult to believe today, in Scranton, at
Nay Aug Park, as I was leaving the hospital
and crossing the lawn to where I'd parked,
I saw a sight I'd never really seen before.
At the Everhart Museum, on the grass near
the reflecting pool - early Spring, warm day,
everything green - there were twenty-two
squirrels. The most I'd ever seen. They were
scurrying around, a few flipping and teasing
each other. More mating behavior? Jeepers,
I hoped not, and haven't we had enough?
-
What makes Nature overdo it?
Did I have to wonder that?
