I was with a large man,
a vegetarian activist--
scribbling madly in a notebook,
he referred to human infants as
"Useless eaters."
"What else would you call them?" he inquired.
And then two blonde women with butch cuts come
wading up the stream,
which is a deep gouge-like surgical scar through
the green,
overgrown brush.
And they have sacks full of grain
and I explain: That--
"Dogs
(And suddenly, a huge black mastiff is there
growing out of the weeds),
"DO NOT eat such things. But prefer a more delectable, savory type of feed."
And they're just traveling on foot through
the murk of the tarn to
"Feed the animals."
And I tell them they should watch out
for used needles, dropped by junkies--
and other medical refuse.
