The Others

A pair of ravens sits on a roof top,
one say to the other, "squawk",
the other nods, dignified. Then
hops of the roof and flies away.  

A pair of cats sit on a garden wall,
one sways its tail in the wind, the
other looks on, nonplused. They watch
the cars rush of in quiet contempt.

A pair of dog sit outside a sliding door,
tied down, they wag their tails as strangers
walk past. One looks to the other and says...
Nothing, they just sit, quietly waiting for master.

A pair of goldfish sit at home.
Floating in the water, being fish.
The humans come in, and be humans.
With no eyes for dogs or cats or birds or fish.
But with just look at the pink thing in there arms.
