Notes About The Poem

Listen to poem:

Panglossian Exuberance

Seeds sprout roots and shoots
   on barren ground and fertile fields alike.
Indiscriminately rash,
   with no probe of prospect forthcoming.
Zest and zeal denies diligence in dalliant dash
   to proliferate at a rate,
   that cons concocted gains
   in the game of natural selection.
