in a nutshell
comment from Eileen gives author hope
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
