Locomotion

Pendulums of kangaroos

 swing over the plain

Eyes of peregrine as it stoops

Swift feet of cheetahs in hot pursuit

Velcro toes of geckos on ceilings and walls

Slick penguins soar under water

Spiderlings float over on parachutes

Scallops jet along the sea bed—

As for me? That’s what I see

On my TV.
