TO A HETEROMITA ROSTRATA
SWEET microscopic beauty ; born one day
In not imperishable head of cod!
Young organism
Sporting flagella in a cheerful way,
But neither cilium nor pseudopod ;
Produced by schism !
Thou dost not browse on pastures bright and green,
Or feed on palm trees in sublime oases
In lands Semitic.
Not holophytic is thy food I ween,
Nor holozoic, as in other races,
But saprophytic.
When bliss conjugal is thine object praiseworthy
A swimming form approaches to an anchored
With zeal ecstatic :
Affection of a healthy length of days worthy,
Your fusion is by motion all uncankered ;
Unkinematic !
