Two pastoral cottontail rabbits nibbling at dawn
two brazen grazing geese at ten
strutting crow duet at noon
geese duo back at two for tea
and a mallard pair, wings tight to their sides,
strolling the road and perusing the pond
in the late afternoon.
Most of the day
an orderly ark of animals
until dusk when
innumerable peepers trilling
countless wood frogs quacking
and inestimable mosquitoes buzzing
raise the question
how did Noah limit them to two?
