the whats + the where's

Luckily...
we don't need to make worms
They make themselves
Clever that

Just...
look in the earth
You won't have to dig deep
to find zillions all sqiggling
and...
Never asleep

I quite envy their lives
Darkly squirming about
only worry they got is if
Birds pull them out cos...

Let us be honest 
I doubt that they care
of the whys and the ifs
Or the whats and the where's

They probably don't ponder
at all
On the gods
or on...life death and birth
As they tunnel the clods

Oh you lucky person, you have plenty of worms in your garden - send me some. It seems all i have are thousands of little black spiders. If you kneel down you can see lots of them running away. Do spiders and worms think of gods or life, death 'n birth I dunno but it's great to read a piece which takes you through considering it LOL.
