MULTIPLICITY

Sun-silhouetted 
sparrows crowd a wire, 

as if 
in syndication—

unassailable 
duplicates 

(neither whole 
nor parts), 

their indifference 
to falling 

rivals only 
that to flying. 

Perhaps such anonymous 
agglomeration 

is far and away 
the best way to prevail?

Perhaps you and I
have been upside down 

all this time 
about dying.
