Autumn Rose Wood Poet I do not know?

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

Cesar Cantu June 2, 2009 at 12:55 PM The first stanzas are so mind craking and fish-digging @.@ I love them, and the others too, very precise in terms of expression and perception of reality; we need to catch the tidal 1's and control them; thanks for the experience =D
