More bad stuff from south of the border—
brain-eating amoebas in Texas.
But they’re just part of the natural order,
like poison rattlesnakes and spiders,
residing somewhere in the hierarchy of Linnaeus,
a bit south of Eden’s border.
The amoebas live in the Latin quarter—
just more devil-spawn to tease us.
We’re the kings of the natural order,
appointed stewards of this former-garden,
so we must rid our fields of weeds,
unspeciated, from south of the border.
God told us the ground would be harder
here than it was in Paradise, but He never intended
brain-eating amoebas to be part of the order
of nature. But I wonder,
does God love us, or do the brain-eating amoebas love us
more? Bad seed from north of the border,
elected with Linnaeus’s ballot-sorter.
