HAIKU

Mark Teaford

 
morning's stiffness
greets the old cat
. . . too		  
   
  the cat watches
intently focused
on my sit-ups
   
kinkajou eyeshine
blinks and vanishes
leaving me in the dark		  
   
  quiet dignity
above all else
a giraffe browsing
 
aerodynamics.
the car's smooth lines
sweep the moth to safety		  
   

poet Mark F. Teaford, PhD, is a Professor of Anatomy at the Center for Functional Anatomy and Evolution at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine.
