Modern life

A nest in a tree
Visible in autumn
Leaves have fallen
Twigs replaced
By Beer bottle lids
Wires from Ipod Chargers
Scraps of paper with WiFi codes
Labels ripped off of sweat shop clothes
Prescriptions for methadone
Condom wrappers
Parking tickets
Final notices
Open houses for penthouse apartments
Leaflets from car dealerships
Payday loans
Tampons unused
Birthday balloons
Toilet paper
School reports of a failure
A beggars sign offering work for food
A hospital appointment
All entangled in a nest
A monster living in scraps of human squalor
Modern life
Inside is a dead bird with three heads
No wings
No eyes
No one cried when it died.
It is better off dead.
