HIPPOS WITH WINGS
I HAD A DREAM
THERE WERE HIPPOS WITH WINGS
BLENDED IN WITH THEIR SKIN
WHEN THEY WENT BACK IN
THEY WERE IN BETWEEN THEIR SHOULDER BLADES
THEY POPPED UP AND FLAPPED
WHEN THEIR UPPER HALF
FLEW UP IN THE AIR
TUCKED BACK IN
WHEN THEY WOULD SWIM
IN A BIG OVAL POOL
THAT YOU COULD SEE THROUGH
WITH WHITE FORTRESS TYPE MOUNTAINS AT THE SIDES
SEEMED TO BE TO KEEP THEM INSIDE
IT SEEMED LIKE AN ENCLOSURE AT THE ZOO
BUT IT WAS IN SOMEONE'S YARD THAT I KNEW
SOMEONE SAID SOMETHING ABOUT MOUNTAINS OUTSIDE
AND I LOOKED OUT THE WINDOW AND COULDN''T BELIEVE MY EYES
