My creator appeared to me in the form of a black lion |
|
She checked my temperature to make sure I was ready |
|
It was one oh six point seven |
|
She preferred point eight, but couldn't wait |
|
I rode her to the arena |
|
There she licked my foot to rehydrate me |
|
Left me pleading in the dirt |
|
The ministers went silent |
|
Drank milk powders |
|
Spilled some on the infants, |
|
to begin their rites |
|
People slaughtered each other out of joy |
|
People murdered their pets |
|
Pissed on each other |
|
Masturbated in their front yards |
|
Vomited in public fountains |
|
Gouged out the eyes of reptiles, and mutilated fish |
|
Then prayed deeply, and watched as their bodies transformed |
|
Rejoiced to the process |
|
There were rainbows everywhere |
|
Everywhere |
