My friends all know that I am shy,
But the chipmunk is twice and shy and I.
He moves with flickering indecision
Like stripes across the television.
He's like the shadow of a cloud,
Or Emily Dickinson read aloud.

Dorothy Heydt: But you left out the last two lines! They read:
"But his ultimate purpose is obvious, very:
To get back to his chipmonastery."
