Because just like frilly and free curiously whimsical the recently enlightened-yet-quietly-
struggling-humble butterfly, resilient-grasshopper... daintily-grazing-dragonfly's locusts hung
precariously low dangling-in small but honest-groups-spread-out-all-over-on-the-side and-
cellar-door back-yard and front-porch-door... . Swaying gratefully on-the-ever-defiantly-
flopping-innocently-broken-screens-that-again I tell-you... I thought, I had fixed... and-as-
well-still-gripping whatever-kind-it-may be today the-birchbark-cherry-helicopter-seed, or-
walnut-tree, awakening ever timely, still halfway wrapped-up-tight-in-their-warm-cocoons
arriving now-from their-moments of-ponder... are told-too to have their-growing fancy... .
The opportunity... virtuously... and ever-novelly, sweetly proposed, like-the-simple-and-ever-
ominous-cry's of a whining filly, two dueling-fiddles three-squealing-unwary pigs... .
Twelve gently-cackling-geese flying-over head fresh-little tiny-cooing-just-barely-naked-as-I-
can mercifully-hear-now — and can tell, with-my-wife and scruffy-five-month-old-shepherd,
and-steaming-cup-of-coffee in-hand — quite-hungry-and-wanted, black-crow-hatchlings-three
chirping-blue birds-wailing-away-pecking-at-each-other all about-them... . Our-gracious
fourteen chuckling chickens proudly parading their beauty off along to-us in full-view of their
own-children's greater-innocence .
My fiery haired fussy cousin small-fumbling baby girl tender angel newborn the precious
eager sweetie suckling kneading away on my joyous... ever-willing and-new, three-times-
over glorious-Mother-Aunties brilliant-supple-and-full... steadily-swelling-enflamed-dark-pink-
nipple a mess-of basil-and-butter eggs-seven-sizzling-young and-healthy-catfish cooking-on-
the-spit over the-open... and-lazily smoking-fire... .
