| If I were a lamb | cha-cha-cha in a lion’s tooth coat |
| If I were a fish | suited to sharkskin, rhumba ’til dawn |
| If I were a sparrow | in cowboy falcon boots, square dance shaking the floorboards over the heads of mice |
| I contain dualities, multitudes | breakfast of toast and coffee, oatmeal and eggs |
| when I look in the mirror | I need a shave |
| the glass will not shatter if my dark wing | touches the light |
