To finish this three-part series, a few months ago I heard a poem by L. A. Jones, a fellow attendee of the Squaw Valley Poetry Workshop, and recognized snippets from NPR–snippets that related to information that I’d heard and pondered and half-forgotten. I liked what she did with these and Lisa graciously allowed me to publish:
Pescatarian

A petting zoo in your mouth
your furry mouth
all that fur in your mouth
it could break your heart
unable to talk.
