an early morning treat <br />to the chirping sounds of the birds <br />the engines arrive in the form of the bus <br />the tractors and the caterpillars <br />the birds fly away carrying their songs <br />the chirping sounds fade <br />the buzz of the day is in the machine <br />paving, drilling, cementing, screaming.<br /><br />RIC S.
