lizards don't understand - 4-22-99, 8:14 pm
a lizard goes walking on the
ground.
his
scales on the
black falt make a
sizzling sound.
as he comes upon a
lake, i say,
"the
wind moves very slow
today."
he
shakes his
head, for he can't speak..
as he
submerses, in the
water flows a
rippled streak.
in the lake, a lizard walks the
floor.
his
eyes are searching for
something more.
as he
crawls upon a
rock, i mumble,
"if in that
direction you go, you'll
tumble."
he nods his head, yet cannot
think.
as into the
pit he begins to
sink.
