I can seer the babooms calling

high in the canopy of lift.

 

‘Babooms? you mean gaboons,

man, those other they live low

 

unlike our mated sopranos.’

 

I am switching

through the unmarked channels,

searching for radio terrestrials

 

or the likeness

of the Big Baboom.

As above so below, runs

the motto

 

of the Primate Scream Show.
