Hi TqB,
switch the last line for the title, and add some more 'dung' elements. (Should the 'hay' be 'straw'?)
Homo Indifferens.
It's not the leopards,
black panthers, lunar parrots,
spider monkeys, polar bears,
or even the repulsive wisdom of the reptiles...............more of this please, (less lists?)
that cause me to linger.
It's but the dusty and barren backlot corrals
where ostriches and gazelle, peacocks and llamas
wander beneath cottonwoods.....................................anything more interesting/dull than wander? plod?
along aisles of chainlink fence,
dung and fetid water troughs,
pale green hay scattered by their aimless shuffle
that hold my early morning attention.
I want to settle down here,
to squat beside my herds from many continents
like some bored Noah
meditating listlessly on the futility
of the this Ark; the zoo's
newest exhibit:
Best, Knot
