Angry Birds<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
When the eagles leave, spawned out red fish
\nmust be mostly eaten, finished with silt,
\nsand, and eggs, a genetic frenzied push
\nto breed here, now, with furious force. We will
\nourselves into bed, away from Netflix, X-
\nbox, the new astonishing app that counts
\ncalories, miles to go, snowflakes, the next
\nminute\u2019s number of moans: O happy grunt
\nthat says hey-ho, this is done, pixilated
\nand, best of all, uploadable as a ring tone
\nthat goes fishy, fleshy, fowl. Someone\u2019s IPhone
\nmeasures the speed of a bird penetrating
\nthe lake to seize a foundering Kokanee.
\n\u201cSo fast!\u201d Not death, the connectivity.<\/p>\n
