Dung

On his gray Ferguson 20
his still face set like a death throe
He had a weighty solid thought
that was also light and pleasing:
In China a farmer who sold
his vegetables in the town,
always carried home in his hand
a big heavy bucket of dung.
He divined that the world feeds on itself.
Its dunghill is its daily sustenance.
