after Maclow

baboons jump
covered in flies and orchids
and then move on south
through the river of parrots
and on towards the huge grey mandrills
covered in toads watched by
tough coatimundis
that scream

what is happening?
what is happening?
what question should we be asking?
is this a thing of beauty?
what has been happening?

tapirs covered in screaming orchids
are staring
at armadillos covered in yellow parrots

a green lizard
twice as long as your eyelid
is disappearing
within the borders
of a bright leathery fig leaf

what is happening?
what is happening
in the florid unities of colors
and organs
following a path
jumping
moving diagonally
for example?
