More Is More

" More Is More "

More is more
pratfalls and waggery
dodging danger
angsty antics

tree hopping
honeydew
winged aphids

hatching out
moving around
head to tail

under glass
harvested
as parts of plants

with merriment and laughter
while kinetically dancing
in golden eras

like small seeds
with major features
on glossy evergreens

richly pyramidal
spritely lyrical vigor
zestfully playful

like Eastern towhees
whistling clearly,
" drink-your-teeaaa "
" drink-your-teeaaa "
" drink-your-teeaaa "
" Toe-WHEEE "

rustling leaves
double scratching
sharply backward
fanned tails
linings of soft grasses

peculiar to the nth degree
in a particularly complex stream
of turbid absurdity

cognitive dickering
exempt of expertise
under conditions of anonymity

confidentially predicted by committee
with missing identification keys
for wingless centipedes

especially in warmer regions
for scaly species in canopies of trees
reaching toward maturity...
