30POEMS IN 30DAYS

11. something gets faked or simulated

Outside the Plant Nursery

The dead giveaway
is a black and white
cow the same size
as the pig and dog. 

I bought two lizards
in wire; they're perfectly
camouflaged on brushwood.
If only all animals could

see themselves the way
we have: in concrete
moulds, metal and wire,
even in packets of jubes

hanging on pegs
in supermarkets.
The real ones cling
to our guilt and eat it.
