The job of a grasshopper is to hop.
Yours is not.
your job is to watch a grasshopper
hop,
Like a popcorn on fire
it hops until it finds a cool
ground,
Until it finds a nourishing wall of
the uterus,
The world is like a grasshopper
and popcorn, hopping and popping
and burning --
and popcorn, hopping and popping
and burning --
Look what is happening in the streets of Egypt.
You are the ocean
and your waters are clear and sweet.
and your waters are clear and sweet.
you are a thirst-quencher and
tender heart.
tender heart.
You are an oak tree
that shelters multitudes
that shelters multitudes
under her love canopy.
