Overpopulation

By Douglas Scotney

As logical as it sounds,
a population that is dilatated
is much larger than one
that is just dilated.

One that has expanded, therefore,
would be much smaller
than one one that has expananded.

A population
that is close to busting the world
would be a dilatatated (dilate-ate-ated)one;
one that’s expanananded
