The caterpiller claws backward

on mud clogged tank tracks.

It pauses..then plunges at the dirt pile

mouthing huge clods.

The man on top pulps a tobacco plug.

Man and machine

back off and groan again

toward recepticles.

They gag and spit

shaking heads vigorously,

straining, arched inseparably,

a gritty taste in the mouth.

(big hugggsssssss) Oh Larry, this is powerful, sweet friend, I fear for the real caterpillar there and I pray for it as it is such a scary place to be! (sad sigh) This is powerful, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Larry, thank you for sharing!

May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,

A man's poem -- with a feel for what a man can become, or may have to be, depending on your point of view.....and a clear word that it's not the only thing he can be. I know what it is to be that guy, and have been him; I know what it is to be the poet, and I am him.
