Might Termites
wood dust,
termites with their fine teeth make,
make drop
like sand in an hour glass
letting you know
however big your house,
its days, as well as yours, are numbered
gums of termites, numb from chewing
cows, sheep, goats, antelopes chew cuds
termites chewing away, my house, uninsured
mine I say, mine they say
on and on goes our tug-of-war

am back...and this is a classic, this tug of war..
Welcome, brother from Uganda, last king of Scotland or is such a label insulting? We must chat about this film.
I need more human hands on my side of the rope, against these insects.
