opossum's trot
opossum's
trot
more
a meander
a slow
wobble
of sharp
claws
and vicious
fangs
Sid and Nancy
style
night hawks
scavenging
the scraps
and garbage
discard
of humans
scrapes
of processed
poison
apple cores
plate scrapings
wasteful normal
as hard times
ahead
to help
adjust
the lackadaisical
ignorance
of responsibility
thrifty
gratefully appreciative
of nature's way
might teach
in understanding
the common
law
of do
no harm
eat what
you kill
no war
kindness
forgiveness
in understanding
in view
of opossum's
trot
