the goat solves differential equations

at the drop of a tin can

which he then eats.

..

he is the brainchild

of a biologist turned computer scientist

who long ago read “think blue, count two.”

..

the goat has a wireless print peripheral

and a tireless creativity which in two days

schematicized a mireless swamp,

..

and he takes no pay save a pasture full

of semismart nanny goats with whom he can make

a small nation of brilliant, peripheralized kids.

..

alas, he has learned

that a stupidly misguided government

wants to appropriate him, his wives, and his progeny.

..

the government sees him and his

as weapons of conquest, ideal spies,

and manipulable dupes.

..

alas for humanity, for the goat,

with some influence from “seventy years of decpop”

and galápagos and the day of the dolphin,

..

has conceived and is schematicizing

a nifty, subversive means of reducing humans

to a single village of idiots.
