the earth worm

we feel no
sorrow for the earth worm
despite
the dirt he's in.
we know
little of his life,
his children,
his wife.
does he have one?
is there
a plan here. burrowing
down
and out.
avoiding the beaks
of birds
that fly about.
what kind
of life is that.
does he look up and
think the same
of us?
