Did we not crawl from the Earth as well
To feed
As mice in a barrel
Trapped within
Plastic prison of
Our own design
Safe the steel jaws yet
Unaware
Teeth bared and
A furious fear painted upon
Wild eyes
Driven to consume
Limbs and
Entrails
Leave only the tails
Spine
Hind legs
Once warm and
Twitching
Now tripped clean
Save for the eternal
Dirty
Reckless
Desire
Dirty Reckless Desire
Published
Objects, and the Distance Between Them
