Ancient for waiting

 
crocodile evidence 
is a gnashing party 
of teeth 
against bone
 
croc purposes a tearing machine
rents creek and flesh beautifully
 
elegant for stability 
crocodile ballet is slow motioned
     against evolutionary change
     agnostic regarding clocks
     tantric about concentration
 
a crown of serrated white scalpel
grins ragged and rapid
over delicate gums
 
runs like a toddler or toy duck
all parts raging
empathy for fellow flailers
 
croc patience buries in mud
parents skeptically for duty

croc school is lonelier
croc learning remedies
from missed opportunity
 
that furnace is a cold blooded killer
wears permanent stealth casually 
 
premonitions young boy fascinations 
for gun slinging and politics
