everything living
on this thin skin
that supports life
has three missions
eat to stay alive
for the same reason
avoid being eaten
and breed in order to
perpetuate your line
so it can go on eating
and avoid being eaten
all the rest is frosting
like the bruch first
violin concerto
2013 Jacqueline Jackson
