They are up to something

They normally form sentences
The doubled black dots
Of pairs of birds in flight
The double double comas
Of speech marks
“This is my wife”
“Here is my husband”
“My trouble and strife”

Now
Some
Thing
Is happening
Solitary birds
Are in the sky

Now words and sentences
Are reformed
Like the sentences
Of the surreal poets
Nonsense yet
Not nonsense
Making some sense
Some how
To someone

But not quite yet

Sometime soon
The standard sentence
Will return
Language structure
Restored
Recursively
Reassembled
New oaths
New troths
New ways
Of being together

So watch
And listen

One series
Of a corvid soap opera
Ends
And new dramas unfold
Scandal and intrigue
For you to behold
Turn on
Tune in
Check it out
Same time
Same place
Next week
Get the gossip
A new chapter begins
