A Venomous Silkworm

I despise these degrees of freedom Said the neo Diderot and the archaic David I envy the liveliness of the termites Said the neo Valimiki and the primordial Achilles How could they embrace a poetic saint in trance Wondered the venomous Rama and the Venerable Lama Who saw the torrid life a prince and the princess Wicked was the Neanderthal Freudian and Digital Darwin Over and above my sheaths An albatross is savaged and an ancient mariner is saved These pearls of wisdom and crowded imaginations They strike digits and cubits of wealth in times of diarrhea Astral mathematics, astralopithicus, astronomic gaze They were the gargantuan invaders of the Gregorian calender Rest is known to us, first word is born as a worm hole No one need to be a snake charmer or a sand miner to unravel the lantern under the rooftop
