Well?

“It is time,” said the maker

tip tip tip

“,to have made

some thing,”

tip tip tip

“with the time you have been given.”

I’ve made myself a spectacle, she says

to the ants in their hills

coqui coqui coqui

I’ve halted squirrels in their overactive fits of life

coqui coqui coqui

I’ve blocked scenic views from rabbits

Frightened skunks

Tip tip tip

I am not one of the coqui.

I am the manufactured clanking

Flesh pressed against man made

some thing

I have not made

but is reverberating.

Tip tip tip, sounded the maker

as the coqui chimed its coqui’s in threes.
