water

in the metal bird
sit the fat and fleshy herd.
rattle and hum heard.

the simulation.
alien civilization.
the lizard nation.

dark is the night
black as the dreams i dream.
pricked with white.

the wet teary clouds
gray and inconsolable.
a burden not shared.

the moral majority
rape and torture the ethical minority.
moral malleability.

the thundering rain.
drenched in opportunities.
paper towel in hand.
