Fake Orange Feathers

Fake orange feathers
stick glued to
brown paper and
flutter at the
unglued tips by
the breeze of
my breath,

smelling to see if
the glue had dried
and able to tell
because it smells
dangerous when it
is wet.

The brown
construction
paper was dry
but still the dark,
once wet, spots
under where the fake
orange feathers stick
and stay because
the glue is dry.

It smells safe and
will stick now so
I can glue
down the fake
yellow feathers
to my brown
construction
paper turkey
too.
