Short Story 5mm Long
maize wheat rice the staff of life
nurturing and sustaining humanity since
the beginning of hunter gatherers
forming an original affluent society
prophets extolling the virtues of long life
all grains ordained for use of man or beast
six billion humans virtually the entire planet earth rich or poor
consume a 5mm edible seed on a daily basis
“When shit becomes valuable, the poor will be born without assholes”
HENRY MILLER (1891-1980)
