(The rush of the sour warmwet taste of bile
Just before an upheaval
of one million pink flamingos
who are protected from poachers and the flu
by a fence
but not a law
because they don’t play it by forcelogic here);
to talk to a human
about absolutely nothing
is like not leaving the safari
at all.
But it is the most authentic
experience of all.
More authentic
than the unauthentic less authentic authentic experience
of the present safarigoers
who didn’t ask that human
about whatever that war was
but all are together on a big adventuretour
with mysticalmagical
fourway passports
and so this authenticity is paid-for
like malaria pills and suncream
and sanitizing lotion and this sunset
in a moneybelt.
The rhinoceroses and hippopotamuses and baboons
are not like a fox
or
or an AK-47.
because of the exchange rate.
