Are they jealous of young tadpoles

scurriers after silver water

gasping at illicit oxygen

- we have emerged from the darkness

to seek the eggs of becoming.

<br>
The waters are muddy with words

and the intentions of men
<br>
- where are the eggs of which we dream,
<br>
sun-like, filled with iridescent yolk?

Our children are restless

our old people are pensive.

They remember the old stories

and wonder if we have taken a wrong turning...

than a year between them). Simply everyone is wearing Belt and Pocket-poppers. Why, I suspect if you rummage about in Mope&#39;s vanity chest you&#39;ll even
