Thousands of years I have lived
And now I feel like little bacteria
My heart is filled with pores
And people call it ostia

The night's are glazing with pleurobranchia
And thank God I didn't get ******* hemiplegia
Solitary I feel in my animal kingdom
I wish I could do something with my boredom.

How amazing are these euplectellian shrimps
Dieing together imprisoned
Symptoms of true love they show to me
Together up to death they are known to be.

Maybe I am the class imperfecta
But by birth I am a mammalia
I wish we could both be mycorrhiza
And get hallucinated with amanita.

Someday we would make a synapse
And get into the love with mitochondria
And there our nervous system stops
And there the impulse will walk .

No special organelles I have
I'm just 70s ribosome
My heart is incipient
With foldings of mesosome
Hope you like it :)

While passing from the roads I take daily,
I noticed a mycorrhiza on a tree.
Wrapped on the sweaty hands of the tall,
Entangled into each other.

I heard them whispering
"I love you",
" I love you too",
and I saw the little plantae
embracing very leaf of the tall,
kissing every inch.

It was symbiotic, I believed.
too symbiotic to be separated.

I took four steps closer,
and I noticed it was a cascuta on the tree.
Engulfing the sweaty hands of the tall,
climbing onto the top of the other,
I heard them whispering again,
"I love you",
" I want you",
I saw the little plantae
suffocating every leaf of the tall,
******* and tearing every inch.

It was parasitic, I knew.
Too parasitic to be together.

O mycorrhiza, natures inter net.
This inter net does keep all plants alive .
It beats out what our race has thought as yet.
The natural world around it does thrive.
II
Trees struck by lightning ,finished by decay.
The  Net enacts signs to the  biosphere
Mycorrhiza knows and does save the day.
The Net does save the ecosphere is that clear ?

III
This food does helps a lot  of damaged trees.
Trees kept alive as long as they can stand.
The Net restores a lot of trees with ease
Mycorrhiza the way to heal the land.

IV
‘shrooms good  to eat I relay at  the least
The Lions mane ,Reishi are good  for health
Find Boletes and Chanterels -what a feast! ,
And the Turkey-tail shroom, Wow !you own wealth

Antestrophe

Fire burns deadwood at the place  it does fall
They free up space ; release fresh food they do.
Black Morels grow in burnt out soil ,I recall
Remember the sun and rain they help too.

II
Eat meat and fowls and fish all good for you
Drink  V8 it will keep you so healthy  
Eat  fruit and veggies all good for you too
Deduce the rede above you are wealthy .

III
And many mushrooms are poisonous too,
The Fly Agaric white spotted red cap ‘shroom ,
The Sickener ,red cap-white stripe bad for you,
Fly Agaric most likely brings your  doom.

IV
The Deathcap mushroom surely is deadly,
There are many others that aren’t reckoned,
Eating a deadly one  kills you quickly,
Unknown shroom located, it should be questioned.

Epode

The fifth kingdom is  surely wondrous,
We know a little measure about fungus,
In school it’s in microbiology ,
We know more  on standard biology.
II
There’s a field called Radical Mycology ,
Peter McCoy created this hip field,
Earth’s  Net as model of ecology,
If you practise carefully you should get healed. .

III
When picking strange mushrooms carry a  guide ,
If you eat them your ride might be a hurst,
If they are edible  wash them ,try them fried ,
Do not heed  my advice|things might be worst .

IV
And Natures ' Net  does hold plants together
It feeds them all  in good or bad weather  ,
And eating healthy food keeps one stout ,
And Natures. ways certainly deep I shout !
