He stands, conspicuously high in the air
perched on the branch of his tree in the sky.
His tiny little head and beady eyes
gaze down at the earth
He plans to skip hop quickly
through the farm and the thicket
among the insects and other small creatures,
seeking food and a mate
He stops to flash his White-patched wings
aggressively in song and dance,
searching shamelessly for a mate
protecting his nest and what is his.
He enjoys making his presence known;
loud is the mockingbird’s rant
mimicking pitch and rhythym of others
repeating vocalizations similar to his own.
He is not an open-end learner.
He learns not to sing new songs,
perhaps not to even listen.
Just repeat, repeat, repeat
Just repeat, repeat, repeat
