## Extract

   A race of sucklers, with gnashing jaws,
   you finished the tale of the dinosaurus,
   but you'll never rise above the earth
   as we: you're dust and soil and dearth,
   an organised pack with famished maws. -
   Maybe you'll rise from your mud one day.
   How much, it's up to you say."
   (from 'The Last Dinosaur' in Huojuvat keulat, 1946)
