flagellum

by Michael Arnzen ~ 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

by Michael Arnzen ~ June 21st, 2004

“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)
