A New Beginning

I woke up underground.

It was eons since my last meal.

My tiny brains were flooded with hunger pangs

I was not your green comic book T-Rex,

I was scarlet vermillion and brilliant oche

and I was confined in the dank earth.

I flexed my armored reptile muscles

and pushed and dug upwards.

I broke ground and saw a feeble sun,

but I was in the middle of a picnic!

Wilted chicken salad and greasy brats,

and some pale mammals,

with crunchy arms and legs.

I left the chicken salad for the flies.
