It came down to this: that merely naming the creatures
                    Spelt their doom.
Three quick moves translated camelopard, dik-dik, and
                    Ostrich from
Grassland to circus to Roman floor mosaic to
                    TV room.

Here self-excusing voices attended (and music,
                    Also canned)
The lark's acrobatics, the great white shark's blue shadow
                    Making sand
Crawl fleshwise. Our ultimate "breakthrough" lenses took it
                    In unmanned.

Now the vast shine of appearances shrinks to a tiny
                    Sun, the screen
Goes black. Anaconda, tree toad, alpaca, clown-face
                    Capuchin 
Launched at hour's end in the snug electronic ark of
                    What has been.

– James Merrill (1985)
