Every time it rains, the sidewalk and plaza behind Michigan's Capitol are islands for the worms that live in the Capitol lawn. State workers and Legislators mindlessly walking to and fro between State buildings step on them. Nike-clad office workers with iPods which shut them off from the world squish them. Some poor worms drown. It is a slaughter.
Me? I stop and pick them up and toss them back into the grass. People stare and shake their heads. Some take a wide detour around me. "Eeewwww," one high healed woman whispers. The iPod zombies don't even notice.
