Snakes have gone loose In the forest of your mind, While the sharks in the seas of your eyes Take the bait I have carefully reeled out. You’ve become purely animalistic; As are your intentions. Coincidentally, your mind has become flawed. You and I are part of a crucial ecosystem, The circle of life as we know it. And it seems that you have become confused As to who is the apex predator in this food chain.

Food Chain
A Ball works its way downstairs through steady staccato beats, airborne and then plunging until banking against the baluster and then over the edge, bouncing hard from the sooner than expected change in height from floor to wall, it is then Snatched from the air mid-flight by the jaws of a Canine, a quick and limber ball-stopper that runs outside with the ball in mouth, it then notices a shadow casting over his own and is Snapped up by the jaws of a Velociraptor that just happened to wander by. Canine in mouth holding a ball in its jaws, it runs across the street and into a field through loose dirt, as while in mid-stride it is Yanked downward by an enormous Ant-Lion— that now holds a ball snatched up by the jaws of a dog that was snapped up by the jaws of a lizard which was yanked down by the jaws of an insect that in turn was Swallowed by       __The Earth__, which is, all in all— a Ball, after                     ALL...

Hu-Machine
Claws retract, Prey is trapped, Between death and pain, Pinned and hanged. Sauntering and sassy, Tearing the flesh with it’s teeth, Not very classy, But the hum of the fur, Attracts another, A growling mutt comes, A feast has begun, No one has won.
