Cell of Legs

When encroaching lions circle
for the nth time
cut them off
at the pass
let the proboscidea bleed
let the pro bono roll
Instead of turning in
like fibonacci
all head to gut
neck to knee
or tail overlapping in tight latch
Try to shell out
bang out
wild out
this is safari liberace

this is glint of glass and gold

this is defending your inner water marble

When feeling great or sorry
remember
we build monoliths
and totems
and cabinetry
that
crushes
our
young
never
discussing
why
the
aromas of shit and chocolate
have made friends with coffee
and
stain
our everything

we buy gold

we buy pianos

we build castles

we amass fortunes

we accumulate debt

we don't smell like what we eat

often enough

Instead we dance with bacteria
Molds Fungi and Mildew
