There once was a quite sizable bear --
yet more imposing for its shaggy hair.
"If I took a shave,
I'd better fit my cave,
but hunters would laugh, not beware."

i hear them all:
dainty expressions
of tiny birds
i hear them amid
the neck-stretched caws
of jungle crows
& amid
the circling
screech hawks
weightless birds:
flitting & jumping,
flitting with wings
blurred to invisibility
&
jumping:
bounce - bounce - bounce
There was a resplendent Portuguese church
with plenty of places for pigeons to perch,
Parishioners went to mass,
moving quite fast,
to keep clothes -- not repute -- un-besmirched.
