Here Are the Sardines   
Jo Ann Lordahl
 
They roam Buenos Aires in 2 a.m. movie
streets and side walk cafes.
They swarm in Tokyo, Mexico and New York
gather in gondolas in Venice near St. Marks’
pigeon square, multiplying.
 
Here gallop the sardines
with London faces: sheep, 
cows, after a time, pigs
Paris in the metro,
the Seine, perched on edges
in Hong Kong, Teheran, and
Cairo, Egypt.
 
Here come the sardines.
Are you ready, world,
To eat?
