Everything has changed in the past few weeks.

Banana Slug

The deeper you wound it
the more it heals
with bountiful medicine.

Whether by fire or by desperate
pricking with a stick,
no tool equals the gross abundance
of ooze, the plasma, fluid, or goo.
Unless you sever
aliments & structures,
separate the fore from aft,
it will generate enough of its humble
self, dangle on a string,
mock your technology
and bear any punishment.
