A PSEUDO-SONNET
bY Bill Costley
A year ago, I began singing
in an Episcopal church choir
as 2nd bass-baritone, joking:
"I'm one of the singing apes!"
after seeing a TV-documentary
on a family of singing tree-apes
marking their aerial territory
by singing out its boundaries
to each other, from tree to tree.
Singing's output; eating's input;
'sing' for simi@n-supper & eat it.
Few 1st-world poets refuse to,
so Gary Corseri's daring us to
refuse by f@sting on this day.
