- Ever Heard of a Bug Called Sacculina
- she’s softer, more delicate, than a ballerina
- she has a fetish for certain crabs
- entering like a celeb going to rehab
- allowing two grooms, to take up separate rooms,
- within, together, they assume, control
- of the crab’s reproductive system
- the crab no longer wants to mate
- yet, gets pregnant, never questioning its fate
- climbing the Ocean shelf, spewing seedlings
- not wondering, how it got pregnant, by itself,
- without breeding with someone else
- all the while thinking it’s reproducing its kind
- believing everything’s fine
- not knowing what it’s doing, spewing
- more sacculina, the parasite
- the crab, silently, quietly didn’t, know to, fight
- never aware within, of the parasite, in, its system
- sacculina, invades with equal opportunity,
- invading males and females, with impunity
- showing not guns, bombs, bullets
- but subtlety is the most dangerous power, going
- it takes over without your knowing
- there’s one more place, sacculina you can find,
- that conscious solitary domain, your Mind…R.D.Revilo
