oh yes, poetry month

I'd really like to write a long, thoughtful post about how Nobunaga no Chef is amazing and full of historical figures bursting into song and cape-swishing. But I've got a lot of reading to do tonight, so have a poem instead.

not starling
not snipe

They all have
rough tongues
hollow bones
heads
made mostly

of eye
