From the collection And Don’t Come Back, 2021.
Sorrow
in the hoarse fluting downward tones
the assertive and the cut-right-through-you voice
of one who is accustomed to being listened to
the bird in the tree
demands attention
the man sitting on the bench smoking a pipe
stares at the ground
unheeding

Claudia McGill Writes Poetry, Did You Know That? 
I know a few people like that bird too!
Yes, and they don’t care how or what you are feeling, they just clack along.
Much to read into this.
Yes. The inspiration was exactly this scene. I guess I could have interpreted it a lot of ways but to me, each entity in the little drama was entirely lost in its own reality, and that interested me, and this is sort of how I felt the emotional context from how the guy was sitting.
