And l was born without teeth.
But we got talons
That reach from the storm
Beaten coasts of the Atlantic
To the golden shores of the

And use the Rocky Mountains
AS whetstones to sharpen them on.

Lay an egg:
And point with pride

In the last hundred years or SO.

The point OF my beak
To the Star-spangled tip
OF my tail feathers,
And when | begin
To scratch gravel

With scream on me that makes
