Do Birds Ever Pee? Poem by Patti Masterman

It's truly confounding
An elusive mystery
Though it might seem obvious-
Do birds ever pee?

Where's my mind been at
These forty plus springs
That it never gave a thought
To little things with wings?

Some birds have free purchase
Some live behind bars
Yet never have I noticed
Yellow rings on cars?

Like some chemical bonding
In hermetic vessel
It looks so homogeneous
As if mixed in a pestle?

It really seems clear
When the matter's checked out
That everything exits
Through one single spout?
