how did they preen?
planet in pieces
cracked eggshells minus the yolk
how did they sing?
body is porous
lands missing the sea
how did they fly?
hands are not hands
feet are not feet
what sits here is beyond understanding
so the wish is
for a planet full of fish
where whales make dictatorships
dolphins are queens
cockatoos have kingdoms
and mice direct dreams
they must have a had a formal name
and hence
be a valid taxonomic entity:
ara erythrura
