::: Aquarium Age :::
Grottoed
to the wall,
flourescence afloat
4 wide
2 high
1 deep, an
ichthyologysm
pouted
angel smiles
in & out
of model caves, wile
winding, threading
faux drifting
forward & back fins, treading
like diaphanous lingerie
with nowhere to go
the smalls
hide
in tropical incarpceration
from striped black mollies'
embattled spece
& speckled zebras
in checkered futures
where none is welcomed
save C.F. Muddypuppy, Jr.
swabbing below O O O...
too bubbling unnaturally!
eyes
silverblue dart,
in confine grouper aggress
downturn at the mouth of hovel
graveled & pretty pebbled
this school for alienation
childfish innocence gone
of sweet, ingenue faces
gone
to 2 by 4 by 1 pool
tropicalla
not deep enough!
Vestibule
"Jake" chirrups
to his mirror
& circus clips
in grey-white plumearray
& orange jole
festooned canarycrown
unfurled-furled
talons & beak
that just won't speak
but
a plaintive, training whistle
in the day, night uncuttle
hungry
for more than scup seedlings!
All
whilst gaelic, loden lizards
thankfully...scamper.
H.e.m.
