Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

Geotoy Great Child disassembled the entire rotting and regenerating mechanism bit by bit by byte by cog by cognizance into its constituents its gums its lips its gizzards its polychambered hearts its drawstrings its bowstrings its stringy bits of protoplasmic tin its ragged raging so-unnecessary-parts its pink matter gray matter muttering vowel-clogged vocal chords its cordite stench its retching birth and rebirth and rerebirth its fixed fixations its ears its eyes and again its eyes as if Great Child could resurrect its superb dissimulation could work the wreck into a breathing breeding thing again as if it were again the gelatinous clock the rain-sucking pudendum the voice with the cockroach hum of cellular gluttony the fornications of a minor heated star Great Child does not know what he does Great Child does not see what he sees Great Child thinks daddy can fix it when it breaks Great Child thinks mommy’s dugs will always give him rich green milk Great Child does not understand there is no other toy once this disarticulated toy is gone.
