strange says


strange says the pelican
the armpits grow more hair
as we all wonder
but knowing and wondering
go hand in hand need to go on
line by line until all is read
then done, undone
can’t read this but once
read it again over four times
each day new news
good news for the papers and radios
television sleeps and when eye can’t find
the darkness bells ringing
old women singing old prayers
in old buildings called then holy once
this time I can’t tell what is right or wrong
that water bird may have a big beak
but Boris says he’s all right
I’ll take his word for it this time…
