Art’s Response to Life’s Baleful Mystery

A man in a monster costume crushes the power lines
A cat upright on its hind legs heaves a brick striking the canine police officer
From inside the team mascot a woman extends sparklers
A little man with a hooked nose whacks his wife with a flat stick
A well-dressed woman hurls herself under the wheels of a passenger train
For turning an angel away from his door a farmer is incinerated
A Great Dane speaks English albeit with a limited vocabulary
And a systematic replacement of initial consonants
A spectral librarian shushes the intruder in the stacks
The gods themselves countenance their imminent dissolution
