body

a race of rattus.
homo rattus for the win.
dying from trying.

frothy tousled hair.
blonde surf bubbling in the sun.
running on two feet.

some sharp sticks are kind.
others bring biting venom.
life and death in flux.

crooked teeth take time.
straightening lengthy waiting.
civics is faster.

this loud banging drum.
have you not run far enough?
my eyes wide open.

heavy the night veil.
slight of soporific hands.
night terrors waking.
