You suffer the not-so-good
It’s your gift to have an animal
Live with you to quell
The animals inside with laughter
And long talks they know
Something about goodness
Even a parakeet can teach
You about the time before speech
Before whatever goodness there is
Opened and closed its mouth
Startled by the arrival of evil
As it came to be called
That great sea in which
The waves of your goodness unravel
