Evolution

Look at this guy! He's one of many new species just discovered in Papua New Guinea.
ODE TO THE TUBE-NOSED BAT

You burrow your
rough face in the
saffron crocus
all day long
and then pretend
that you have just been
napping in the sun.
But your fuzzy mouth
and trumpet
nostrils are stained
Yellow, you little
bearded
devil.
