Geese--they don't care by Jesse James Doty

Geese gleefully joining in formation

don’t care if it is raining outside.

Hail is pouring buckets on them

and sliding off of them like a duck.

 

I wish I were a waterfowl 

enjoying soaring

no matter how

wet in the sky, I could fly.

 

If ever I were reincarnated

into something else

I would choose to become a pelican.

 

They dive straight down

splashing into the ocean

catching a fish every time.

 

Geese, pelicans, and ducks

don’t care what the weather is like outside.

Their strong resilience supports

creative adaptation to sky, water, and land.
