This Song Needs Work















the itchy donkey, the sick donkey, and the burnt-out donkey
sat at the table together
the other donkey — is that how the song goes?
or

stupid fight about misunderstood (and list)

a man walks by with a book in his pocket
a bag in his hand
paradise was perfect ‘til—
here’s what we saw
__Caspian tern
__Bullock’s oriole
__rabbits playing or fighting
__3 kinds of swallows
__egret, blue heron, geese, ducks
__grackle
__turtles
__red wing black birds
__no owls

let’s go back: paradise was perfect
the farthest reaches
inaccessible
