Anthropomorphica

Anthropomorphica

Is there a creature more Brueghelian

Than a pelican?

The rounded stoic eyes

The unlikely thighs

The sight of a Manta Ray

And I conclude Man Ray

Not so tenuous a bridge

Manta Rays are art deco

That lives

On the sea floor plains

On the pristine volant sand

The side-eyed flounders

Carry their Jackson pollocks

Around

If you put some Nike caps

On meerkats

You'd see the watchful youth

Who burrow into the dense

Clay of streets
