An earthworm pharoah,
Pondering his daily count
Of hidden pyramids
His trillion fellahin
Quietly churning biosphere,
Might mock the overweening
High flown foolishness,
Human in the upper air
Seeking dark eternity,
Pity his single heart
This simple Ozymandias
Who knows not the faint purring
Of five hearts working
In perfect sync
With no respite.
