zeps on sticks (NaPoWriMo 2020, day 24)

zeps on sticks

stubby purple zeppelins
stuck to their stemsticks
bait
for birds
or so they nonthought
for nature intends the birds
and others of her creatures
to gobble
and then excrete
a seedy prefertilized pile

but there is more than one way to skin a grape
and so humans have intervened
have appropriated and exploited
and now the grove of the marketplace
has stomped this bait
or more recently vatpressed it
fermented it
blended it
bottled it
and made of it
a new bait
to lubricate
decadence
