Net
Not
Enough
Time
To connect
To dissect
The inner dialogue and outer space
Rubbing sticking flesh
That bleeds
That reaps the harvest And
Feeds
The shark
The struggling dolphins killed by unaware tuna fishermen
The hungry caterpillar
The firefly in the jar
Soon someone will catch the butterfly
But
Children get fat
Now
From too much fast food
And not enough exercise
Too much time spent staring at a screen
Gros (fat in French)
Gross
The amount made, but never taken home
Intelligence
Never wasted now
That the chance to share with the world
Exists
Round every corner awaits a new discovery, but there is
Not
Enough
Time
