For the Owl

I am bad at

bye-ology

–oh, I am good at

dissecting things

–frogs, in particular—

and fine with peering

>this close<

(and closer)

under microscopes

but bad at letting

things slide

.

I have taken up

hi-eroglyphics,

lately, though

for all that it’s passe

(is it, really?)

‘cause the future is sketchy

and lines are blurred

and I am great

at first impressions

–better yet–

at drawing

conclusions.
