Responsibility Day

Responsibility 
is the thing with feathers 

like the modern Tyrannosaurus Rex
of legend, only better -

and it flaps its tiny arms, 
takes flight to big bad wolf down
big huge beasts of consequence 
to fruit into orchards
of blossoming trees. 

That's a bellyache, 
at the very least

but it's all in a day's voracious
feast
