soaring below a blue sky
gazing below at a pool
of aging humans
the eagle and the osprey
glide, turn, dive
towards the anomaly
beneath expanded wings
the birds are stunned
large floating two-legged
creatures peer up at
the ballet in flight
the eagle speaks first
"yeah, they do this often,
waddle around like sea-cows
not an attractive sight
the osprey replies
"it's worth the daily dose
of humor, strange beasts
bobbing in blue-green water"
the pool humans admire
the wingspan of the majesty
in the sky as nature has a
happy moment in
viewing homosapiens
in their man-made pool

Author Notes
I was swimming in a pool on vacation in Florida when an eagle and an osprey flew overhead. I was just trying to imagine what they might be thinking.
