A family of chicks lives in the garage,
Peeping and jostling their cottonball bodies against each other
They are confined to the wood and wire structure lovingly assembled by my roommate
Which is confined within city limits
Which is illegal
Which means the family of chicks living in the garage is already hard at work
Proving that simply existing can be punk rock
