If you want a balanced ecosystem
you need a few good moles. Ideally moles
with independent streaks
stalwart internal compasses
and sensitive noses.


Mark Danowsky’s poetry has recently appeared in Mobius: The Journal of Social Change, Red River Review, Right Hand Pointing, Snow Monkey and The Best of Every Day Poets Anthology Two.  He resides in Northwest Philadelphia and works for a private detective agency.
