"there will be two, if you cut them in half"
those wriggly worms
in the rich earth
to keep them from dying out
just chop them with scissors
we believe what we're told
accidently exterminating
instead of providing regeneration
send them to kingdom come
youth's will be done
how wonderful it would be
if our dreams regenerated
like the storied worms in loam
when the spade thrusts through from above
ripping through our ideals
they would arise again, twice as strong
and yet
if friendships functioned
like worm mythology
we could sever two people apart
they would wriggle away independently
and each would go on alone
so perhaps it is better if friendship is real life
worms in truth.
needing to stay nearly intact to survive
a small piece from head or tail will not kill it
but too great a wound
and even worms can bleed and die
