We treat each other with exceeding courtesy,
we say, it`s great to see you after all these years.
Our tigers drink milk.
Our hawks tread the ground.
Our sharks have all drowned.
Our wolves yawn beyond the open cage.
Our snakes have shed their lighting,
our apes their flights of fancy,
our peacocks have renounced their plumes.
The bats flew our of our hair long ago.
We fall silent in midsentence,
all smiles, past help.
Our humans
don`t know how to talk to one another.
