are
biologists; studying the life around them.
to learn ways not seen by normal sights.
Tireless beings
surveying movement
around them.
they are not afraid
to sit in front a mirror
to study how realism
fits their physical
learners; grasping the heart of technique
Tireless beings
awed
like a cat
and
a butterfly.
jumping from its stump
again and again
failing to capture
the creature
until
it’s hind legs breaches flight
to feel the flutter of fly

awed by the odd

wondering, so learning
until learned
Inspires; for other to have
interest
