Galapagos!
Blue Bop
of Bird feet,
brushing
bustling
plip-plopping
‘cross the sand,
puffing on seasalt,
greeting fellow dancers
saluting the shifting waves
sailing in from Ecuador.
Bop Hop
Blue Bird
stashing evolutionary mysteries,
shoetop tips swimming
riding blue teacup leaves,
blue shoes skipping over currents,
Galapagos rhythms untamed,
essential heartbeats.
and along with the seabreezes
the tides applaud
while the waves heartily cheer:
“BlueFeet:
make more babies!”
