Desert Storm

A would be panther?
a tiger?

you?

Hah!
you
are
not
even
a reptile
(though your tongue will catch flies)

you are a slovenly bullfrog,
a mewling cat
a greasy wide-bellied scampering rat

No,

I see you

Yes,

I can see you

you are yourself
nothing less
and certainly
nothing more

You belong in the sand

and should be trod upon heavily
by tons of camels
until it gets
very
very
dark
