Lives only to Breed<\/p>\n
Lives only to breed, to fulfill a need.
\nInside the frog pond, he’s stuck to the pail..
\nVirtual mayflies in my mind all feed.
\nEggs are like hope-seeds when planted to fail.
\nSolely alive long enough to create<\/p>\n
one in the soil, at the end of the day.
\nNew copies, reproduce and procreate.
\nListen. Try to find a way through the fray.
\nYou know there’s an important task at hand,<\/p>\n
There is a new natural order of things
\nOrder is the only rule of this land,<\/p>\n
Broken, how the caged bird sings. When the slings
\nreach the fortress wall. King Bird landed soft.
\nEvery egg exposed when mixed in the broth.
\nEvery mayfly lives for breeding. Feeding
\nducks and toads in mostly marshy seating.<\/p>\n
Hour Three, 11 am
\nLives only to Breed
\n(form Acrostic\/ Sonnet 3 of 24)
\nCharlie the Mayfly.<\/p>\n
