Aardvark Dining on Termites
…………………………Wikipedia
What must it feel like, being labeled by
Your teeth? For 60,000,000 years you’ve been
Around, but still your tubuled teeth defy
Set classification. No, not your chin
Or even tongue (with those radiating,
Minute pipes) but your oral cavity
With central pulp giving you the rating
Of being (Can you grasp the gravity
Of it!) unclassifiably unique
Among the mammals. If evolution
Would give your molars just a little tweak,
Withheld taxonomic revolution
Would certainly, scientifically follow.
Is your singular state hard to swallow?
