Fail On An Epic Scale
"A Rational Intelligence necessarily precedes empathy."
-- Elementary Logic for lovers of fauna,
not flora
(or even fungi)
* * *
Have you no empathy? How can you laugh?
Though yet it be in truth my greatest gaffe!
( ! ) ( ! )
The lawn! And garden! How uncivilized!
Not fertilized with dung! Both traumatized!
(=) (=)
The little daisy! Nestling in her bed!
By puppy pee! Assaulted on the head!
(^) (^)
The dandy dandelion! In a rut!
His stamen wee! By one mean mower cut!
(#) (#)
The peas! Pea green with envy! All in pods!
Their brothers kill! To please their green-eyed gods!
(+) (+)
The crabgrass! Rank! Unnatural! Grown to seed!
No rubber wears! That crotchety low weed!
(~) (~)
The grapes! Again! Inhaled! With yet the vine!
Those little foxes! Spoilt! Till stuffed! The swine!
(/) (\)
And I! Here tripped upon my garden shears!
Beneath the kudzu! Buried! Dead for years!

a dedication of Respect
for
the Pain of the conscious, feeling being
full failing
to protected be
a revolving helios verse menippean satire on
the good green garden of countless vegetables
sans brains
january, 2023 -- still hails and hails
of epic fails
in teensy weensy
neural cells
