poem

lambs bleat

near the castle

the very first

brimstone butterfly

of the year

a single stork

in the stork's nest

according to the script

it's the task of

the discarded pizza box

to bring people

back to reality

you find a giant ear 

in front of the art gallery

the doctor's office

love to hear all this

better than the week before
