No ruthless predator preying on the slow, pruning the herd
No metaphorical eternal struggle
And nothing like a simile.
No mustachioed Marlin Perkins,
No battered Range Rover,
No tawny lions of the Serengeti,
No howling hyena bitches.
No circle of life.
Just one hawk,
One dove,
In my front yard.
The dove lost.
