Jeff Connelly Poet I do not know?

God Only Knows

after the umpteenth
day of rest god
messed up not
paying mind
to Adam's
naming
game

on that same exact
day of days was
created not one
but two birds
one doomed
and to be
used

in meaning not so
worthy absurdly
to become
extinct but
not from
his now
known

name but from dogs
pigs and people
not stupidity as
we all take from
history saying
the name
dodo

but the other bird that
on that day of days
later in the evening
came out so
contrary
even
more

then a canary swearing
it could speak because
this bird's tweet so 
to speak from out
its beak was
not a
dog

but the mew of certainly
a positively confused
bird trying to contact
even attract his
foe a cat
so that
Adam

without a gasp or question
never asked but simply
named this bird
tip your
black
cap
a

god 
never
made a
dogbird
stay silent
and stay still
you dodo Catbird
