Mixed Breed

by Philip F De Pinto




a militant dove. grovels sick. of saying please. love.
banished horrifically from his species. as were a pair of white shirts.

there in mixed company the dove will learn.
to grow pacific. if not blend. in perfectly with the others.
to make a terrific snowball. and starch.

innocent creature. nothing. nothing is likely to win. back
your specific features. when one or the other mimicked. like a twin.
your spitting image. recollect a fling? like a snowball. flung up a stair.
led nowhere but. through the minds entrails. there lie. to melt and blend.
with thoughts. Siamese tanked on gin. were at ease. driven by twin engines.s.
