On top of so much
Devastating news
Concerning the Earth
(about which too few
Of us are concerned
And even fewer willing
To digest), lately
From the hinterland
Comes disturbing talk
Of giant invasive hammer-
Headed earthworms over-
Taking the homeland
By the millions,
Swallowing
Our much smaller
Native fry
For breakfast, lunch,
Dinner AND midnight
Munchies—I don’t know
About you but for those
Concerned, I think
It’s time to come to
Our senses and hope
It isn’t just
Idle table talk.
