Two Canada geese
settle into an angled parking space
in a Wal-Mart lot.
They take turns
sharing shreds of bun
left in a torn red McDonald's box.
One goose eats.
The other stands watch
for danger.
A car honks,
its sound louder than any
a goose could create.
The noise interrupts their feast.
Harsh and threatening
human voices follow.
The geese flee.
From their aerial perspective
the birds agree --
Excellent volume.
Lacks style.
