heavy water
there's
one
stretch
of
my
fence
on
which
the
birds
will
sit
,
and
they
won't
sit
on
any
other
part
of
it
.
it
doesn't
matter
what
kind
of
bird
you
prefer
.
they're
all
there
.
a
congregation
of
birds
on
my
fence
.
i
put
a
tape
recorder
out
there
once
and
came
away
with
a
conversation
that
went
something
like
this
:
this
fence
looks
the
same
as
it
did
yesterday
,
says
a
swallow
.
yes
and
so
do
you
,
says
a
yellow
finch
.
i'm
a
very
static
swallow
,
says
the
swallow
.
i
don't
change
much
.
do
you
know
that
man
in
there
looks
out
at
us
from
the
window
every
morning
and
sees
us
standing
here
the
same
way
.
he
thinks
we
never
go
anywhere
.
