Museum of Science and History

 

Growing up black white trash you grow up

the only and complete / Whale skeleton

In the local mammals wing

 

Of a museum of science and history in a land-locked state

You grow up Lord     bigger and smaller than you are and were

You grow up white

 

But not a white that counts it makes

People uncomfortable

who when they think of white think of linoleum

 

You grow up a display case     Lord in which

Two hares have been arranged to illustrate

The influence of environment on coloring

 

The one     / Brown as the dirt it dies in

the other so white it disappears behind the glare
