The Mating Game

---

I saw
two Willy Wagtail’s today
a simple thing,

watching
these small birds boogie,
flaunting,

wagging
their tails undisturbed
by passer-by’s.

I think of
the woman who contentedly
walked past them

a young mans arm
draped across her shoulder’s

hips
moving in tandem,
flirting.
