The egret perched on the hump
Of the cow
And the cow prowled the veld relishing the grasses
Insects and flies perturbed
Jumped into the egret's mouth
A vigilant hawk aligted
And in his talons the egret
Was jacked away
And the day became a Christmas day
For the insects and the flies
This is how the world grinds daily
On its jaws.
