A seam created
To disturb the stasis
Pulled, cinched, returned
And voila
A replica collectible
Never knowing just how lucky
We save that energy for doctors
Parents, family friends
Those who were sleepless
To disturb the stasis
Pulled, cinched, returned
And voila
A replica collectible
Never knowing just how lucky
We save that energy for doctors
Parents, family friends
Those who were sleepless
The other part
Like a blood orange
Versus sweetbreads
Probably prodded
Examined
Discarded
Like bundled software
Begging to expand
At least for a while
Never knowing
The hunger could overcome us all
That's what it is
That's what it has been predisposed to do
Hard wired for exponential growth
Termite mound
Cellular infestation
A part of it all
Self-replicating
We can relate
Or at least pass judgement
Others remind us
Of our most artificial reaction
The tuck and suck
The binding
The blood let
Some of us have had to cut off
Relatives
For similar behavior
But with legs
And arms
They so often crawl back
To the host
Here we have a section
In a petri dish
To examine
Our own embarrassment
