this is a bewildered
and bashful bat
seeing with its ears
flying without feathers
biting, chewing, nd sucking
instead of beaking or pecking
dreaming on its back
more than on its belly
although a perfectly normal mammal
he has been trying hard
to make a bird’s living
never wanting to deceive
nor attention to receive
forgetting all human associations
i wonder one thing about this bat
are you a little comic error of nature
or rather a tragic wonder of life?
