Penguins Waiting at the Bus Stop

image by author

The wilderness came beckoning
Well-dressed bison grazing at The Meadow
and penguins waiting at the bus stop
Stampedes of buffalo rushing through red lights
and silly little moles scurrying underground
A frilled lizard howling about religion
and a stray dog asking for change
The rain doesn’t stop falling
and I run alongside the wildebeest
