Megaloblastic Madness - ORBS

she cant be well… shes got the look of pots left out.

strange left over

browns and greens seeping from her lids in streams

oh no!

this cant be

right… shes been leaking from her pores all night.

off white and yellow and

in between like a kettle hot about to steam

and i grow quite confused

with

out a map or drawn instructions whats a man to do?

she is just a mess

some

thing you might find growing off of something you would never

touch without

some goggles and a mask

dr shes not looking well.

quite frankly sir she looks

like hell

i must confess, im no doctor and id like to wash my hands of this

entire mess

oh this virus!

how cute it likes us!

its sweet and it gets

inside us!

we move just like it wants us to we swell and stink and pulse and

ooze

i bet this makes sense to the physicist

to me its a whole lot of

nonsense

x’s and y’s and the whole lack there of

me and mr science are about

to square off

and engage in an old fashioned bout of fisticuffs

if we must

talk of science and human life, ill pose my queries say

what i know and sir

well both be up all night

so:

cant make sex with out a chemistry set

if it

has seven ears it might be inbred

relations between man and beast are strictly

forbidden!

im only hearing from 5 ears but it seems to make sense

cant make

love if its not in proper time

if it has 5 legs well then its not one of

mine

relations between mind and body just cause the eyes to strain

trying to

make sense of signs that point to lasting pain

you cant fight biology

she

tries to get up from her bed

the sheets are sticking to her skin and we cant

tell her that shes

turning iinto something new, an unclassified new breed of

goo.

she looks like hell and we want to help but will not touch.

her closest

friends they loose their lunch and we cant help her we

cant help her

now

oh this virus!

how cute!

it likes us!

its sweet and it gets inside

us!

we move just like it wants us to.

we swell and stink and pulse and

ooze.

makes sense to a physicist

and to a biologist

not to a comic book

enthusiast

makes sense to a scientist and to an alchemist

not to a

scientologist

makes sense to a scientist

but i get none of this

im getting

none of this…
