I Too Saw A Dragonfly



and thought,
'dinosaurian needs
must have stretched
a fly's body and wings.

'As of those lizards
there are no longer many,
of dragonflies
we're lucky to have any.'

I wondered why
it was fearlessly standing
on the short spines
of my cereus cactus.

I took a pic.
Is it picking its teeth
on a spine? That's toll!
That's sick!
