who are you out in the field,
walking and digging
with the Canadians?
I cannot place you
and I surely don’t want to insult you -
are you a mixed hybrid?
Could you be a Barnacle goose off the beaten path, having lost your way during migration?
I’ve never seen your kind.
Perhaps you are the offspring between a Canadian, mated with a Barnacle or snow goose? Do you know?
You weren’t alone in your different colors wandering the muddy fields. I wonder if the others are your siblings and if your parents are near.
Your mystery may be solved — but not today.
