P. 31
The planet Earth is one big stone
To kill by these two birds alone:
The gannet of cupidity,
The dodo of stupidity.
The balance Nature strikes
Has never been beaten—
The one the cosmos likes,
Of eater and eaten.
The shepherd says
The flock smells bad—
And their smell is
Not improving.
He also says
His dog feels sad
That not one of
Them is moving.
