ah grasshopper

 ah grasshopper


and the child

weighing life in the palm of it’s balance 

kills it

and thereby perceives some knowledge 

of death’s life

will store the length of that silent remorse 

in some locked box

in some back drawer of time

and then 

in due course 

will open that regret and learn 

that the time for sorry 

has run out time

and that will unbalance you

will kill the life out of you

and some other child will call you

grandpa grandpa   look 

a grasshopper
