Perhaps it was a heron An inspiration in majesty As the cars flashed underneath And the wheels turned The brakes scraped The music played The casino loomed But there it is Its head turns to look to its right Feathers Flight Is there a fish Entaloned? No It does not look hungry The streets roll underneath The firefighters are practicing on a burning container The naval research station launches helicopters The buses roll by The river rolls, barely And I roll Nostrils full of tar And smoke The heat The light Mediated By the sunglasses The sweat I'm not dirty But I'm not full And yet There is no fish in my talons As I turn my head to the right
