Evolution

Painting by Paul Grignon

Whitman, Emerson and Thoreau
died in America.

Four boys escaped Lejac and froze
to death on the lake near home.

The army in Uzbekistan executed children
as an example.

We are not really toilet trained.
We are trained to believe we are.

I have learned how to scream
with my mouth closed.
