so the noses turn up
sniffing and twitching against the
deep tissue burn of coal dust
blackened catfish sliding
down blackened throats
a frailty experiment!
glees the respected scientist
mister robert h. madgin
most respected of his class
most lauded of his family
most eligible bachelor 1972
as the earth churns and spins
their skins will stretch and polish
in just such a beautiful way!
yanked taut over tensile sinew
till the veins and throbs hold
straight through the men's slumber
