Robin

We live here too.  You*ll just have to share.

The robin in the tree
Across the street
Has claimed our front lawn
And driveway
For his own.
He hops the blacktop
For worms
Or perhaps to mark
His boundaries.
This morning he thought
To stand down
The car,
Puffed up,
His chest more orange
Than usual.
We live here too
I said to him
You*ll just have to share.
