Broody Valentine

Is it alarm or laughter at the world
That sets my neighbor's chicken off
Crowing all morning or maybe
It's pride and joy over one egg
Offering to start a new world
Right here in the middle of the city
Unseen I picture her brooding
On the coming civilization
Silent through the afternoon
All night the egg dissolves
And in the morning she lays another
Crowing and crowing you
Have only a few days left
What is taking you so long
