To My Friends Back from Antarctica

(x = space)

for fun—no penguins were brought back or harmed in these productions, though penguin company was enjoyed “chez lui”

To My Friends Back from Antarctica

It’s

World Penguin Day

(25 April)

You may let the penguin out

Whom you’ve been keeping:

With all the

Mechanicals

Around,

Who’s to know?

If you remove the lid from

Your freezer,

Then to the room

The machine

Is in

Close the door,

Will you have

A habitat?

Remember to keep throwing

Fish

Inside

From time to time

All the time,

The bird reminds me

(all the time)

I prefer Christopher in conversation. In writing, I use C L Couch because it’s a genderless form of my name and, frankly, easier—I have severe writer’s cramp. I mean to be a poet writing spiritual and occasional verse. The photographs used permanently here—for the banner, for my profile—were taken by Debra Danielson, a photographer and friend. You may enjoy more of her work at debra.danielson.org. If you would credit me when quoting my work, I'd be thankful. As I am thankful for your presence here.
