I.

Crunched up in the corner loft,

Hands entrenched in his deeply

Greasy hair, filled

With potency and vehemence. I stepped

Through the mud on the ground,

And looked into

Its eyes-

II.

One large head, on which whose

Appendages were attached,

Took his arms and tore open

His mouth (making fluorescent liquids

For the naked men in the river filled

With vomit and pink and green sludge

Which oscillates around and would be fed

To crying unborn fetuses in front of a large

Black obelisk, which orange birds

With cut out eyes sat on)

Allowing for the entrance

Of humankind. On top of the

Giant creature’s cranium the cut out

Sections of his head which revealed his

Nerves displayed a lone circus tent where

Men and women laid and

Bees took honey out of your eyes

And tigers mixed oaths with flies

In piles of limbs.

A large man with a

Painted white face would and will

Smile kindly

While carefully eating the flesh

Of beings once considered

Alike.
