JANUARY PUZZLEMENT

It must be terribly confusing.

The grey squirrel sitting
on the deck railing is back,
devouring the bird seed.

Last night's snow triggered
our outlay of provender
for sparrows, juncoes, cardinals.
Not for squirrels.

What looks to him like beneficence
on his behalf is, apparently,
no such thing. How else
explain why we open the door
and shout him away?

It must be terribly confusing.
