Poem #7

I fear that someday soon
I'll have to visit them
in museums,
observe them in cages
Brainy girls
with spectacles
smart chicks
reading heavy books
containing multi-syllabic words
Intellectuals
protected by thick glass
to keep them from extinction
They're so beautiful
in natural habitats
so beautiful, all
with their heady brilliance
I couldn't bear
to see them caged
