Chestnut-colored incubus lurking in the periphery
Did not design its own bumpy carapace its bifurcated whiplash tail
Peril peril peril peril peril
Warning warning
Alarm
No not circuitry just another gelatinous configuration
Dissolving congealing transmitting
Ductile like a circuit and like a circuit coursing into return
The paleozoic sensors must occasionally yield a false positive
The demon summarizes the sundry threats that infest the domains of living things
Apex predator to the subapical practitioner jaguar to ocelot coyote to chihuahua
Days of dearth stretching into months
Invisible incomprehensible contagion to the prehensile brain
Faulty brachiation and fall to the forest floor

Menace abounds for the survival consciousness
Unto the miniscule myriads in the green expanse
The experience of life is not all beer and skittles
Hence the yearning for a world of inert placidity
Oblivion
Of harps clouds lotus blossoms juicy grapes always in reach
But lotus grows from the ropy slime mucky and defiling
The fingers of the harpist harden
You don’t sit on clouds
You let them shed their merciful liquor upon the place beneath
The grape will ripen only in its season
And its trickling blood in due course metamorphose into
An elixir by no means unique that exposes the illusion of individuality
And grants consciousness thereby of universal joy
