Afghanistan should be bombed by magpies,
Palestine besieged with praise.
Hear about the new world order/
a seed cracked, the explosion of oils.

"Avoid excess intelligence"
says the wily cat.
A sea eagle overhead maintains
domestic air supremacy.

People navigate in their own gales
as kangaroos sleep in shade.
White cockatoos land like wedding rice
on a sheet of flowering green.
They don't want bread,
the pigeons have no appetite
for cigarettes.

We must be simple:
me, you & paper.
Buttons burrow into machines,
gasses tense.
Metals refuse the seductions of rust.
