poems 'The Populace Invisible' by Lannie David Brockstein

 

The human body is perpetually pregnant with
Trillions of microorganisms that hath colonized
Its intestinal lair, and like the gravid woman’s pith
Heart eats not only for herself, but for her fertilized
Womb as well, each man must not only eateth for his health,
But for the probiotics of his microbiome’s wealth.

 

 

Lannie David Brockstein is a poet, songwriter, singer, guitarist, and literary videographer living in Ottawa, Canada. Some of his interests include off-grid tiny houses on wheels, the newly emerging blockchain technology, baseball, and the use of whole foods and holistic medicines.
