More advanced in evolution
Than their human masters are chickens
As they outnumber the stars in the whole
Universe, and occupy every corner of
The entire planet, but as in-dividuals
No chicken can fly higher than a low
Fence, make love within its confinement
Or live together with its children. The only
Thing they do besides laying eggs and growing
Meat is standing there, day and night, as if
Meditating about the meaning of evolution
