a map on the wall
the spider crosses the world
in just three seconds
|
cows eating plastic
small shirtless boys walking by
they will eat the cows
|
the rains came heavy
newly hatched insects emerged
chickens are happy
|
I am teaching class
the weather is too hot now
they are not learning
|
the squashed freak spider
is a brown mess on the floor
the ants have a feast
|
electricity
goes out when the wind blows strong
leaving us the stars
|
all night, the ants work
carrying away dead bugs
that died in the light
|
the taxi is full
we reach our destination
the car is empty
|
the goats in the road
know the honking is for them
but they do not care
|
I wonder about
my stolen dictionaries
are they being used?
|
we planted trees here
they are small–we’re leaving soon
who will watch them grow?
|
life without chickens
will be boring and quiet
the sand will be smooth
