The Man made of Worms

The Man made of Worms

A Poem by Whitman
"

Worm man.

"
There he goes
The man made of worms
He wobbles when he walks
His skin squishes and squirms
No one knows how he came to be
A walking, talking worm society
He can read, write, dance and sing
All with a wormy body, wet and wriggling
So one day I just had to learn
I asked him, "Sir, why are you made of worms?"
"Hush." He said, "We're in disguise."
"Hiding in plain sight from hungry eyes."
"Gossip can kill, so mind your words."
And then he pointed to a man made out of birds.
