Flightless

Neither all black, nor all white,

camouflaging just enough

to survive snow and earth

Waddling with guile,

sliding on belly,

slipping away in no time

Floating with flippers

strong enough to teach a fish

lessons in swimming

A bird that can fly under water

A lie that can't fly past equator

of knowing, of time

However heavy or light

may the truth be

or just a penguin
