The Modern Siren

Toward the end of an early evening,
a strange bird straight out of poem
or old song alights atop a Park Safe
signage down on Rhode Island Avenue
and sings its own doleful song
for those who have been wronged.

Anyone who listens strips and lies
prone-naked on hard red bricks
ashamed, not touching, as if God
himself knew what each was thinking.

I'm not even sure what this poem is...it just kind of came out. I was looking at this stupid bird acting weird on top of this sign (I was waiting at a street light) and it just struck me as odd...thanks for acknowledging it.
