How to know
the pondering of a bat
hanging upside down
his frown but a smile
How to know
the dreaming of a bat
abiding the dark cave all day
flying free in the darkness of night
images going blip in the dark
How to know
the seeing of a bat
when sounds are his mode
of traveling in the night
and catching prey without light
