Response

Words don’t tell the story
any better than pictures,
icons and fantasies.

Black paint on yellow brick
evokes a tintype telegraph
but fuchsia
swirled around Sophia
suggests a time
between wars.

A monster skull with one eye
and a full set of teeth
obliterates
an indoor playground,
but the snake-bitten eagle
still wears his crown

and this, I’m afraid,
doesn’t bode well
for owls or pussycats
who sit behind locked
metal doors
waiting to feel
exceptional.
