That Headline About The Puffins With Apologies To CNN

a puffin falls asleep in its crib of light
don't you wonder what it dreams about at night
or in the day

does a wave seem simple
when it's far away
or does it just exist

waiting for an instant like this
when scientists declare
it scratched itself with a twig two times somewhere

perhaps it can use tools
or does the puffin think
what idiots they are

who think they know
a puffin from a star.
