OF FLOCKS AND CONGREGATONS
Which came first,
the prelates or the birds?
You know the color, doncha?
The former know the answers
to all the questions
the latter will never ask:
No what, no when, no why?
Pope pickers,
diamond darlings,
paragons of avian splendor.
Sorry, crested finches.
You got your name
from the color
of the churchmen’s robes.
