to many things
above all others
is probably flamingos.
Their claws are painful
Talons hidden under pleasantly
pink feathers
So exacting they prefer to pick
shrimp from their shells
perhaps all too perfectly
Shaving the flesh from it’s coverings
in one immaculate swoop.
Devouring iodine
Turning pinker
Save for that
menacing, honest
black beak.
