Do the penguins care
about the one with orange beaks, an extra stripe?
Do the giraffes mind
that his neck is longer, that she has less spots?
Because the humans do,
the humans tell you
that your hair would look better
if only
you did this
and your eyes could be prettier
and you could smile different
and maybe you could
and maybe then
you always wonder
but the humans might still think
that your hair's too curly and your smile's too loud
maybe the penguins care,
maybe they don't.
