How To Become A Porcupine Poem by viacheslav kupriyanov

How To Become A Porcupine

Remember
you are still a man,
and think
how often you have behaved
like a beast,
how often men
have acted bestially,
imagine
what else men are capable of -
and once your hair
is standing on end,
consider yourself a porcupine
and apply double-quick
for a place in the Red Book

from the Russan by Francis R. Jones
