SO LET'S THINK
The largest bird I'd ever seen flew
above my head; it startled but for
a moment. Even I, then, was taken
as pre-historic. Long green trees
had become a salvaged blur; the
noxious fumes of living stank.
-
Not to turn around, mind you,
but out of interest alone I stopped
and made sure to look up - great
and mottled feathers, a huge-ness
not before here seen. Something!
-
Out behind me was a trailer parl,
along the side a truck lot, and
across the way a woods. From
which this came. Sight me, for
I know what I saw well...
