injured bird
in my shoebox
**** Darwin
grumble of the semi’s
greedy gut, gobbling my ancestors
wheels turning like time
jaybird shrieking
cursing God or Gravity
- her egg still falls
“To Hell with Descartes!”
          Scream anxious knots in my back
Tangled like body and mind
-
the languid bee
sulks on parking lot weeds
soon we all will rest
-
the swatted fly bursts
      like the Big Bang
I am God
-
the flyswatter hovers  
      hesitating -  
should I play God today?
