Golden Shovel No. 02

Cocoa in pods and alligator pears” 

The Tropics in New York by Claude McKay


My Golden Shovel #2 poem:

“Mammals and Reptiles”

Humanity on the beach in Cocoa

drifting on the outs and in

We also travel in pods

like a dolphin and 

chomp like an alligator

eat loved ones like pears
