Waiting to leave

Watching birds is in my genes

The birds mass
To leave
Line up on the wires
To figure out
Where everyone
Is.
They count
Each other
Figure out who is first
Who second
Who will lead
Who will trail
The flock
When the time
Really comes.
In the meantime
They line up
Practice counting
Practice massing
Practice figuring
Practice waiting
