Squirrel vs Non-Squirrel

Squirrel vs Non-Squirrel


1

some say
stars are nuts

as if nuts
or stars

were words
in a wisecrack

but like other squirrels
or stars

nuts are not always there
when you return


2

what is outside
what is inside

the idea needed
for certain words

life
death

is nuts
or stars


3

inside words
outside

which is which
a faint light

over the hills
there were once

many squirrels
