Garden Trilogy
I. Centipede Multiplicity
One day, a little curly dog treed
an unsuspecting centipede,
forgetting all about the others,
his one hundred faithful brothers.
Soon, the curly dog would greet
ten thousand angry little feet.
II. Caterpillar Paralysis
Can I tell you a stranger thing than this -
a caterpillar suffered paralysis -
or was she just a chrysalis?
It came about, by and by,
that she became a butterfly.
III. Snail Presence
He was alone,
but the sun shone.
There he stood.
He felt good.
He had no feet,
but felt complete.
A slow glide
felt right inside
for a snail,
just out of jail.
