  ## 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)
