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
