So Stand the Fallen

Very soon marmosets and moose will get their vaccines. A lone gnome fishes in a Koi pond. The light of the moon has been dimmed by a Chinese switch. Elite bands of cockatoos fight for free speech, but just for themselves. Preening jackasses bray in the green rain and the songs are all the same. A fearful old man stammers in the dark. So far the greater apes are in ascendance however, a turtle and trumpet alliance has formed a combo of resistance. Four masks a day and a cup of instant propaganda keep us hiding behind a surreal subterfuge. Afghan warlords wander empty streets handing out relief packages. Birds rent-out tree space to killer bees. Belfry’s are bankrupted by fleeing bats. Harpies and stool pigeons turn in their stools for further interrogation. King Kong whimpers inside a skyscraper closet, too shy and lonely now to swat even the smallest of biplanes.
