a butterfly lands;
unmoved by wind or leaf sway,

cornstalk beetle
bigger around than the stalk:

How much grander must the world seem
closer to the ground,
a grass forest within the forest
with layered forest sounds?

the vaulted dome of sky,
and have one’s world shrink to
the limits of one’s eye?
If an ant thought it saw everything,
but only viewed a slice,
would its tiny ant mind have contracted a basic human vice?
