Two pairs of red tail kites
Were doing acrobatics this afternoon
One sailed over my car close up
Unpretending vast gyrations
An overweening tune
Venerable vocations
Who dares to ignore
The meanest of gyrations
Great consciousness
and more
Their self-esteem is wonderful
A true pomposity
Elevated and grandiose
And of course
Wild and free.
