AdaMantis A flying praying mantis landed on Adam's shoulder and he stuck it with a toothpick. In front of a giant-screen t.v., an inebriated international crowd howls at frenetic images of competitive sports; someone cuts his knuckles on glass.
"This was a man, who never hurt a flea," pledged the priest as they lowered the Boston Strangler into the ashen pit. In a town famous for its high rate of domestic stabbings, a naked couple makes love without a record playing, but in five years they will cry and stick praying mantises with toothpicks.
And in those praying mantises is a simple thought process, allowing for the bending of joints for movement, a sensory apparatus for direction and locating food; not for avoiding lances aimed at the heart.
And in the zoo the camel froths at the mouth and whimpers, the komodo plods forward with broken leg, the dogong swims in a small tank in a fluid resembling urine.
Damn Adam meaning all he sired all; And what a pissed-off quirk is man, So deaf-blind in treason.
