of a segregating Country Club.

No, this is addressed to economic...

Touching my hand was a wet doggy.
Whatever my fate was going to be,

but more specifically
because those dining
hoped their prey's sacred powers
would thereby become their own,

and great paternal rulers
and warriors

I loved my job as a botanist, which took me to many foreign lands,
Like the golden sun rises smiling, to meet all our natural demands.
