754

ontogenetic

I am first set out

swamp to swim

desert to cross

how I progress

all manna, mirages

slithy, lithe to go

I was the one-ness once

there before a way was known

never gave things a thought

and who should front

but knock-me-down

hack at, gouge

what a delight

to do them out

and feast at

untrimmed, still

a show of flesh

and family?

was there marrying

into the tribe?

but they can't see me

I saw seasons

called the crops up

trees fed in their time

the clock, the list

and the calendar --

these are discovered next

I have a picture

of it - this is for

you to take
