Driving to Burlington is a rational reason to buy a hybrid car now,I so I’m hoping to come. I’ve been assisting in a 5th poetry workshop, and I saw a sluggish fly…

The fly in fall is a flaccid fellow,

His insides get cold? They turn to jello

Does he know he’s dying?

Does it hurt in there?

Does anyone, anywhere, care?

I do said the cockroach

I do said the flea

I do said the humans with a bright canary.

I don’t said the glaciers, we’ve gone before.

I don’t said the rivers, my banks are sore

I care said the caterpillar crawling on a leaf,

Then he fed a flying flicker’s fearsome dagger of a beak.
