The City Has FlocksThe City Has Flocks
The city has flocks
of big
fat
finches
A factory on the far South Side
that turns out Scottie-dogs
dog after dog after dog
The forges blaze
through the night
Fresh-cast dogs clatter
onto the factory floor
Released into the parks
by vested City workers
the Scottie-dogs chase
finches pecking in the grass
The big fat finches fly away
The Scottie-dogs prance about
they howl and yelp
