Anthropomorphica
Is there a creature more Brueghelian
Than a pelican?
The round and startled eyes
The unlikely thighs
The sight of a Manta Ray
And I conclude Man Ray
Not so tenuous a bridge
Manta Rays are art deco
That lives
On the sea floor plains
On the pristine volant sand
The side-eyed flounders
Carry their Jackson
Around
If you put some Nike caps
On meerkats
You’d see the watchful youth
Who burrow into the dense
Clay of streets
