Just short of Random, a milli-sliver less than Chaos
We float on a pea green pond and maybe
A swooping swallow will choke upon an ear of corn
He syphons in his swift and daring dive to drink.
It must have happened once: before they learned
That little flotsam can asphyxiate.
I hear that just last year Nebraska swallows flew on shorter wings
So´s not to die from blows from fast-flying cars on Highway 80.
A little less is life not death.
