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)
