i was on my way to Portugal then came out of my egg in a platypus hole in Eungella
on the way to the water from turtle-nest birth i found my way to Arizona where i met my ninety-third midwife in acton
i was due nine months after that horrid legless romp but i was given the role of earthworm
when i floated from grass to rockstarchild i ran into my part-time job as algae
from there i was cast between the shadows of old growth to seek sun as myself the vine
once that was cut down i slipped through mothers curtains into Tanzania where i learned Swahili and Kiswahili
as i was fighting white blood cells in the nervous system of a London checkout chick i became a sacred cow
now as i restore nutrients to the soil the ants clean up the crust from the meat pie i was eating when i choked to become who i am for now
