In the moment
I'm a grasshopper
In an American scientist's cage.
His name is John Smith.
What was I before this,
I wonder, but he knows me as I am now:
The species, the genus, the family,
boxed for examination.
Later, he meets his lover.
John asks, what will I be after this?
I think the answer ought to be
Slow in coming.
