Cocoon
In one of the offices we clean,
One of the cubicles has a man
With the title, “Fisheries Biologist.”
And one of his coworkers put the
Word “Extreme” in front of his title.
So he was an “Extreme Fisheries Biologist.”
But humans are extremophiles-
Organisms that live in extreme conditions.
Even though things are extreme now,
There have always been Flowers of Algernon.
There are seeds beneath the ground
In winter.
When fruit comes in the spring,
It is our own arrogance that
Has been faced in the winter and let go of,
No one else’s.
So we should not eat seeds,
And try not to blame,
In the spring,
We will be set free
And will be free indeed.
