While visiting a gardening education project in an elementary school, I learned this odd fact. Same assignment as "Gamine"
Earth Worm Haiku Suite
Five Hearts in a line
Pumping through the cool brown earth
Passing through gardens
Five hearts not much brain
Eating and beating; no thought
Passion without wits
Five hearts, lose one and
There are four others waiting
Beyond shovel's edge
five hearts, not true ones
Aortic arches they say
Just pumping muscles
Five hearts for one worm
for earth, food, travel, sex, life
What else are hearts for?
