In This Civilized World (Where the Animal Reigns)
You're so urbane...
Refined...
...A perception
That's blind!
Dog-faced Man,
And his wife...
...She's a Fox
Under light!...
...Always sniffing
His hands
'fore she bounds
From the stands...
...Swiftly scampers,
And plays
On a nature
Trail race...
...In this civilized
World,
We demand that
We're best,
And that beasts
Are not human...
...But we can't
Pass this test
Of shucking our
Derma
Of beastly
Desires...
...As we kill,
And we rend...
This civility stench
Overwhelms
Deprived sense...
...Wiles us
Behind our fence...
...Where the
Marketers feed,
And devour
This
Meal...
...What is real?...
What is real?...
...Just what
Animal glows
From the tip
Of my nose?...
...I see birds,
I see leeches,
I see turtles,
And creaches,
And the more
They lay dormant,
The more this
Assortment
Becomes less, and less...
...Do you dare to
Resist....
When your
Animal seethes?...
...Shake the
Cards
Out your
Sleeves.
