About That

without a thought

the pond frog gulps down

a nearby flying darning

needle never concerned

about how many swarms

of mosquitos a dragonfly

devours in a warm season

                  *

why should you give

a shit about the harm

you cause the pain you

inflict with your insidious

hateful lies when spewing

fabrication makes you feel so

goddamned good inside

                  *

but there is an order

to creation a reciprocity

to life's eternal equation

such that someday you

might want to inquire what

the naiads of dragonflies do

to the tadpoles sired

by croaking bloviating

semi-permeable amphibians
