grasshopper

they say

you can leap twenty times the l e n g t h

of your body

that you have five eyes
two of which have a thousand lenses each
that means
you can see in all d i
                                    rec
tions

you have no ears but
can you
spit!


as a farmer’s daughter
i was just picking you up to say hi
so why

treat me like
an enemy?

those days of fields, meadows and
pasture grass
will be with me forever

and you
always a

part
