Text:
 
The Penguins
 
Never too cold for a warm welcome
we are the kings and emperors of this pristine land
that shrinks by degrees under our feet.
 
On this stark palette of ice and snow
we are the picture of irony:
wings, yet we cannot fly
tuxedoes for no audience but those on ships who
have yet to learn togetherness
to stay warm
to share parenting
to trade gentle chirps in
clusters of care that 
affirm each voice. 
 
But this land’s vanishing 
will declare our demise 
long before the whales 
have us for dinner.
