in a nutshell

crack open a nutshell

to get at the seed-meat

foreknowledge that nourishment

is to be had that way

needed to be learned

yet we laugh at ‘dumb’ animals

before we take the humbling time

to watch, to study, to learn

there is far more to living beings

‘than is dreamt of’

in our philosophy and our arrogance
