Revised Older Poem: 1% POEM



you dug a trench in the sand

filled it with swamp water,

threw in lobsters, crabs,

snakes of all sizes

and electric eels
 >

all of this prohibitive excess

to make damn sure

no unwashed

unwanted people

could share with you

> 

on your property

people eat large slices

of an endangered world

(no sustainability allowed)

while the rest of us

wonder why

you felt justified in

disfiguring a public beach

by digging a trench in the sand
