who knew something like this

who knew something like this could cause so much pain
and these
create so much anguish and i am so hungry

invaded my home
poisoned me

they look like stringy vegetables like wormy roots
taste like rabbits
i must eat i'm a big man

filthy clever full of whiles and deceit
my useless neighbors
a clan of fools

ODYSSEUS burned into my brain
no one
indeed too clever for your own good

who knew something like this could cause so much pain
and these
create so much anguish
