Mimicry and Nonsense

Song bird Song bird Hello
I have Heard you sing today
your voice condenses into clouds
and rains into my mouth today.

Green Leaf Green Leaf Greetings
to this mass of cells that
pours its chlorophyll into
the wells of my eyes today.

Why are your eyes so perfect
why are yours the ones that make
men crawl and dream of you

I like your matter's shape
but your soul is like a pinecone
(some people like those, I guess)

I prefer grubby toddler hands
filled with dandelions:
So sweet
even if they are weeds

Hello Song Bird Green Leaf Greeting
Why am I always engulfed
Shut up and go away
before I call firemen.
