Oneness in Nature

Oneness in Nature

This is what distinguishes
Sophisticates from basic bitches.
Holding forth on what each thing is,
Making noises issue from their lips,
Deflecting as appropriate,
But which is which?
The dog that herds the sheep,
Curled at his master's feet,
Or the cock that crows the dawn,
And the bugs that eat its shit,
As the dirt was once the lawn;
The mob was in the order latent,
Needs arose and were created,
Compelling because they were obscure;
The learned old don and the young
Dumb blonde, alike in sin, and pure.
