sometime between 1991 and 1996
a poem for younger readers from my hypertext novel axel-and-alice
now it’s dark
now it’s dark
in jurassic park
no sun spies
in dinosaur skies
no tonnes of meat
on reptile feet
patrol the shore
of the swamp
any more
when i wake
from the dream earth quake
magicians
midget musicians
sing away
to begin the day
beautiful things
lizards
with wings
