The busy ones
the fast breeder reactors
always amaze me:
the ermine’s
slick white rope-
trick of a body
vanishing into the snow
a hummingbird threading
the hundred eyes of a woodlot
without slowing down
the manic shrew
like a heat-
seeking missile
& yes
the quick brown fox
ah I am nothing but
a speed bump
on a log
a lazy dog
but I figure
someone has to sit
at the center
of the maze
they make.
I love the way you end this “someone has to sit
at the center
of the maze
they make. “
I always wondered about the lazy dog. I suspected he had his reasons.
nice.
