I Earlier Saw
I earlier saw a pixie,
small and pointy, thin
and cute, but the People
sauntered freely as
they crushed it
with their boot.
I later saw a mushroom,
home to many tiny things,
but the People, hardly seeing,
took the ground when
they had wings.
Just then, I heard bright
laughter, sounds of sparkling
chandeliers, but the People
liked pop music, poorly chosen,
for their ears.
I finally ceased my hearing,
shut my eyes so I fit in,
became one of the People
who crush pixies thick and thin,
those People, treading lightly
as they burrow in their screens,
People who have no idea
what any of this means.
