#785 - the language of the dinosaurs

the language of the dinosaurs

to an old Pangaean tune

 

is lost

but we still speak it

it’s Ur

guttural

hard not to rhyme

all jungle thump

and one day coal

 

monosyllabic

some say even yappy

not much more than

eat shit fuck

express your joy

go again

 

for conquest

just the one continent then

they’re the bells

the prayer to call

the logic is insane

 

the language of the dinosaurs

is everyone’s and no one’s

(intangible cultural heritage)

 

clocks all set to

disaster impending

 

dinosaurs on the piano

dinosaurs do the blues

are aspirational

everyone’s their pet

                                          

a coo and hoot

a skin of song and plumage

                          dance!

little hats for certain letters

 

o careless with their loves

evolving over a cliff

 

Fred Flintstone, Betty, Bambam, Pebbles

 

what belches! farts! resounding far

so much of ours is them

the stem!           

and every little worry

 

the rudeness of the dinosaurs

where they are all alone

behind a jungle!

muddy, nude

fetching bone

 

and in a hiccough hurry

saurian serenade

 

what did they say?

 

the language of the dinosaurs

(as functional as any)

is all about the weather, war

 

we’ve opened up a franchise

a whisper away –

DINOSAURS ARE US

                                 

though everyone must die

the main thing is survival                    

 

we shrink down the ambition

sprout little wings and fly
