Jungle

Think of the grasshopper
And of the ant
Having fun and game
And hating each other
For a lifetime

Dream of the virgin serpent
Cutting its path thru’ rock
As the natives 
Put their flock to pasture

Then wake up
To the strength 
Endurance
And intelligence
Of the jungle
In its monotonous rhythm
Of decadence.
