with the absence of so many humans

the animals have reclaimed their territory

and even branched out to try things that might be new

when i saw this goose standing full of pride and bravado on top of the bridge

all i could think of was that scene from ‘titanic’ when jack said to rose:

“i’m the king of the world!”

and he believed that for a little while.
