Devolution
Gary Beck
Somewhere in the South Florida habitat
migration became mostly human,
replacing birds, bees, beasts,
overwhelmed by hotels, motels, condos,
that swallowed a peninsular tract
once the showpiece of a continent,
that allowed coexistence of species
who were not permitted to vote,
were denied government protection,
were encouraged to disappear,
or beg on man made marinas,
another callous testimony
of progress to destruction.
