Dinosaurs Come of Age

© 1984, Troy K Spears

1. Fugitives

Dinosaurs skip playfully through the trees,
stealing eggs and hatching lies.

2. Conversion

She sent him an image of herself,
and being the perfect camera obscura,
he sent her back.

She said, MY god's not dead.
He said, YOUR god just hasn't lived enough.

She forgave him this, his first poem,
for all the poems that would have died to be first.
And many poems die trying.

3. Development of a "human" eye

Aren't all gods poems so necessary
that we forget they are poems?
And isn't love
the lust that is lost in thought?

Dinosaurs play in the grove,
dimly dreaming.
