BAT BOXES
We have a love-hate relationship with bats
We make Batman a hero and Dracula a monster
Some say the pandemic was started
By people drinking bat soup
Many scientists now reject this rumor
What's certainly true is while we are busy
Destroying natural habitats we increase our chances of
Coming into contact with deadly viruses
The Jamaica Bay Wildlife refuge has
Put up bat boxes where
Little browns bats and sometimes red bats
Can chill out during their migrations north and south
If you are in the mood
One spring or fall evening
You might get to watch the winged mammals
Exit the bat boxes as they begin
Their hunt for insects
Bring a sandwich
