LIKE A DINOSAUR ...

Like a dinosaur
     in a chicken coup
  I've been cooped up too long
Like an elephant 
     in a tea shop
  something is wrong
Like an elephant
     in a chicken coup
  something is wrong
Like a dinosaur
     in a tea shop
  what's going on?

Something is wrong
  Wrong for the chickens
     They don't like it one whit
  Wrong for the elephant
     She doesn't like chicken shit
  And the chickens don't like
     the elephant
     the dinosaur
     the invasion
Something is wrong
  What's going on?

Wrong for the elephant
     stuck in a coop
Wrong for the chickens
     their coop's been abused

They squawk and
     they flutter
They head
     way up high
  drop chicken shit
     on the elephant
       who's stuck inside

Time for a change
     Not for the chickens
          They like the coop
     Not for the tea shop
          except for
               the dinosaur
               the elephant
               and the mess from their use

But time for the elephant
               the dinosaur
     to find
          a home large enough
                 wide enough
                 big enough
                 kind enough
          a home for their kind

A dozen years ago,
I began to wake up
with word pieces -
words music, spoken word, songs -
in my head.
Escape velocity.
Echo of the echo.
Tank almost empty.
Can't cross the gap.
Welcome into my world.

LIFE POETRY
POEMS ABOUT LIFE
SPOKEN WORD POETRY
ON LIFE SIZE DINOSAURS

Life poetry
can be about
daily life

Life poetry
poems about life
life poems
can be about
the meaning of life,
the meaningless of life,
and what about living a life
that doesn't fit right -
being a dinosaur
or elephant
or giraffe or polar bear
in a space for a good-sized fly

Spoken word poetry
spoken poetry
about life
is poetry about anything to do with life
and that is often, these days,
about life lived in cramped quarters -
life cramped

Life poetry ...
is different for chickens
and dinosaurs
