The woman in the leopard print dress
Wants you to believe
It's all natural
The American lion much larger
13,000 years ago
(and living)
Long legs parting
The American Serengeti
Great gods of evolution!
(and silicone)
I believe--
In extinction
In the futility of calling
God good in the particular
(or of calling)
In the wireless clicking of the centipede
Even though I don't understand what the literal meaning the speaker is trying to convey, the poem is still incredibly enjoyable both because of its musicality and because of the overwhelming sense of mockingly cheerful nihilism that is especially present in the lines that are contained within parenthesis.
