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.
