flagellum

Published by Michael Arnzen in Gorelets: Unpleasant Poems on June 29th, 2004

i saw a worm squirming in place
one side squashed into the pavement
pink, flattened and stuck like tack
the other snaking wildly
as if in pain or panic
a familiar flagellum:
getting nowhere
before my other foot came down

Take Your Licking and Keep On Ticking

“Suffering makes you live time in detail, moment after moment. Which is to say that it exists for you: over the others, the ones who don’t suffer, time flows, so that they don’t live in time, in fact they never have.”
– Emile M. Cioran (died 1995)
