Displaced

I'm a sunflower
growing out of an iceberg
drifting in a northern sea,

an octopus hanging
on the uppermost branch
of a California redwood tree,

a meanderer lost 
in the Sahara Desert
with no transport but a canoe,

an emu wishing
he were a wedge-tailed eagle,
flying in a sky of prozac blue. - Jeff Barnes
