Systema Naturae

The green beetle grades the grass-blade
Millimetre by millimetre,
Guides the gaze
Upwards and out
To the tree.
To species
Through synonym
Through genotype
To genus.
To family
To superfamily
To order.
To class
To phylum
To kingdom.
To life.
Dizzied,
The eye descends
To the powdered, granulated, emerald weevil,
Its antennae waving,
Its elytra bright.
All learning is little
And therefore dangerous.
There is so much to be grasped.
