worm in five segments: a poem

I.

underground, a worm lives
not on the ground
but underground
like the mole people

II.

the worm represents
love
and hate
and fear
and rejection
and hope
and love
yes
the worm represents it twice

III.

born into the world
a worm is so confused
i mean, it doesn't even know its own name

IV.

my grandmother was kind to me
she raised me from the time i was a pup
one day she told me
that worms were what held the dead in place
to keep them from rising

V.

important worm announcement
no worms were hurt during the making of this worm poem
thanks to worms and the english language for making this possible
