• We have nothing to offer you say the cows but our blood sweat and tears. The blood humans cook and call juice or gravy. The sweat is uric acid, the pre-urine in their muscle cells which causes

  arthritis. Their tears and terror become adrenaline which saturates their flesh during

  transit and as they are murdered.

COWS AND CHINCHILLAS

Cows and chinchillas

find a world mean and chilly

in the fur stores and the

con carne chili.

LILY'D BOGS

Immersed in fog

in the lily'd bog

live polliwogs

before they're frogs

 

In Italian woods

goes Francis unshod

on the path

to oneness with God

ORGANIC

Anything which kills

little bug beings

can accumulate

to kill big beings.

WHEN RAINDROPS FALL DOWN

When raindrops

fall down

they sometimes

leave crowns

as the descent

of grace

does fearfulness

erase.
