9428. THE GREAT MISBEGOTTEN

THE GREAT MISBEGOTTEN

(winter must be over)
They're stirring again : creatures with the

little minds and the talk and the mowers and

the blowers. They stand at corners, gawking

at each other and just wondering. As I do. I

wonder what's coming through. These are

the worms of Earth, the things that inhabit

the land, the misbegotten, the tiny elephants

of this large, ant-hand. No, it isn't that I've

wondered where they've been  -  any 

nighttime walk could have told me that.

Through their insipid and vapid land 

of TV. That's what they learn, so that's

what will be. No wondering about that

in this the Land of The Misbegotten, with

a new season's babies, in this land

of the rotten.
