It Came As Lightning
It came as lightning
It came as lightning
thunder and fire it had not
but the terrible made surveillance
cows it saw grazing,
touched them and rejected
birds sat on trees singing,
looked at all and ignored
blades of nature sang sweet music to it
smiled at them and moved away
trees bend and whispered in its ears
heckled at them and pushed on
then it came to a brainy biped
there it sat amused
but not as a fool
