We have always like those others
the ways they move
birds holding the air
for dear life
fish screwing the water
for dear life
animals sniffing the earth
for dear life
it's all so simple
we say
how they take
what is there
or each other
how they know
who to take
who will take them
but what's the tune
they dance to? every step is a sure one
every turn undisputed
though it end
in the rhythm of jaws
We always liked them
those others
whose singing is beyond
our throats
