Ecology 101

not to belittle
the sweat 
    of
a thousand generations
    of well dressed
ancestors —

	but

even woodpeckers know
    not to chop off
     the limb
      they’re
        standing

	on.

Ned Mudd resides in Alabama where he engages in interspecies communication, rock collecting, and frequent cloud watching. He is the author of The Adventures of Dink and DVD (a space age comedy). Some of Ned’s best friends are raccoons.
