Moose Swamp, 2009
Animal Decor
A Fox head bowl for cereal
and glass Bear for the spice
plastic salt and pepper Cats
defending them from Mice.
An Armadillo whistle
nailed halfway down the hall
there's Chickens on the crockpot
but they're turned to face the wall.
Tiger guards the family car
Bobcat guards the broom
an angry Mayan Bunny Rabbit
glares across the room.
A pair of Pigs hold cookbooks
by the door, a Llama greeter
while the Otter watches over all
from the baseboard heater.
My cat sleeps on two Prairie Dogs
Red Panda's on the bike
a Goat skull shares the sewing desk
with crumbling Trilobites.
Plastic Beaver, resin Moose
both balanced on the sill
a china Mallard pours the tea
a Penguin holds my pills.
A wooden Lizard climbs the post
past insects cut from tin
surrounded by faux Animals
when did they all come in?
