it's the little things sometimes

High heels on concrete

clip clop like tiny hooves

and the feathered tail

of a baby dinosaur

trapped in amber

 

was recently found

in a Burmese market.

The structure of the feathers

suggests the possibility

that the colors might have been

as iridescent as a peacock.

Imagine that.

It mitigates somewhat

my disappointment

that the exoplanet,

55 Cancri E,

is probably not made of diamond

as was previously thought.
