people who do everything 

you meet them everywhere 

mind you...

it’s nothing for them

ant and wing with 

gust gone 

dinosaur people, tractors too

and take the underawning sky

a shortfall, heaven felt

people at play

shining people and so-called

supremely confident

then in the shell, foetal

come in all colours, textures, moods too 

lions, tigers, bears

people who know everything 

meet in a thereof 

on the hop 

tiptoes

often on the hop

people who have to tell you 

this that 

brim with truth

people of the heart 

in one breath together 

call an ambulance now 

illegible poker face

one in a million

up to new tricks all the time 

tie themselves in knots

far from fact 

slow starters and explosive types 

people you’d count on your fingers and toes 

pen and ink people clouding in smoke 

deep in furthest thoughts

culpable of course

often spotted on veranda 

sunshine folk and snails 

saints and scribblers

clever, blind

I think you can see the world that they’ve made

I think you know the kind
