Vinegar

with vinegar
I clean up windows
I clean up mind's windows.
I clean up green forest
      blue sky
      white clouds
I clean up great universe.

_______not true________

Now transparent windows--

Against the glass
Chickadees, robins, jays
hit their heads
and lose their lives.

In charity
I pick them up
        eat them up
        with friends.
