i think i've been warned about snake oil before
and the man with no teeth won't drink it at all
before he looks up in the sky and sees a herring,
A HERON,
and the man with the boat comes and frees his passengers
from their stilted conversation
but as i gaze at its swoops and loops and glides and turns,
it reminds me what i came to learn:
obsession doesn't earn respect
and it isn't respect either
