More crows in the trees here than at home
Large-billed crows
They talk to one another

On a date, playing catch
A boy and a girl
Japanese baseball

Cicada drone is rushing water
Flowing through the leaves
Some drop dead like rain

An observer
Busies himself with airborne concerns
Will I know if it hit me?

Catch a cicada
Learn its song
Realize the crows talk to one another
See them still with all their mouths wide open
Understand their plan
The cicadas just fly right in
