California Quail
Quail, quake, rattle and recoil …in terror.
ISIS, Kim Jong Un, active shooter,
Trumpcare, global warming, poverty, Death, the 6 o’clock news.
We always used to warn our children, Don’t get into cars with strangers!
Now they have an app for that.
Quail in… horror, Spanish, fear, Missouri, the bible, a sentence — Google.
Quail are stupid birds. Flushed from the roadside brush, they flee across the road and into the path of your advancing car. Running in a line, their stragglers cause you to brake, less you clip one or two. Although, doing so could only advance the specie, but doing so just doesn’t feel right. Stupid quail.
