Jumbled thoughts after reading wikileak

Redtail dropping below me down the middle of the road

did you spot a groundsquirrel?

The steep hill had me flying on your back

you not knowing the thrill it gave me

and simultaneous concern for I could not stop

truck and trailer on a dime like you as you nabbed the prey

and feet apart we made eye contact

you looked over your shoulder and aborted your mission

and a flare of left wing and you were there on a branch to my right

as I passed in an instant

you quicker than the pilot of a drone

and no friendly fire from me.
