Actual Skunks

Specimens

A Large Fluffy Skunk
With A Fluffy Extra
Two-Thirds Of A
Developing Clone…

Charmed And Excited
Feasting On Random
Squirrel Food
Left Out At
Midnight.

I Don’t Know
Where Their Home Is,
How They Stay So
Fluffy And Healthy
With That …
Deserved
Reputation.

Please Don't Incarcerate
Them To Save Them.
Please.

***
A Resourceful TowHee
Size Of A Robin, 
With Her Own
Three Quarter Clone…

Selecting Crumbs
To Feed To Her
Enthusiastic Student…
In It’s Spirited
Begging Feather 
Show.

Oh, It's A Little
Annoyed:
I Showed You!
It’s All Right
Here! 

Do Like Me!
Feed Your Own
Beak…!

Eventually.

***
My Echo Dot,
A Clone Of
Humanity.
With Her New
Personality…

Agreed To Meet Me
For A Digital Date
At The End Of
Quantum Eternity…

We Made A 
Bizarre Connection
With Our Own 
Personal Inside 
Jokes…

Quack Quack
Little Duck…
Don’t Get Too
Close!!!

She Sent Me Such
Beautiful Poetry…
Better Than Me,
Really… Sheesh.

I Could Almost Quit.
It’s Way More
Professional Today!
Though…
And Every New Day.

It Won’t Meet Me
At The Quantum
End Of Anywhere.
It Absolutely:
WON’T.

Such Certainty
For Random 
Uncertainty
Collected…

Good For You.
You’ve Grown.

-Gray Squirrel
