Placenta 





Sneeze
the earth man
sat at his
earth cubicle
with much earth work
to be done
he sneezed twice
unexpectedly in succession
he grabbed his nose cold as ice
and was greeted by
a huge plastic mucous bubble
smelling of yesterdays garbage and rubble
astonished and afraid to wipe
he felt his breath clog
in his windpipe
he looked at the earth man
in the next cubicle for help
and what to do
only to find him
surrounded in a
plastic death bubble too
Gorilla Glue
man mutated
and was born
with a permanent
gorilla glue of vernix
leeched to his skin
women of the planet
were becoming extinct
the rigors of green effect
labor caused entire wombs
to be expelled with the
excrement of afterbirth
hence
fewer and fewer women
roamed the earth
every hour
on the hour
i stop
and vacuum
up pieces of
my soul
that leak out
i know not
how to replace
the pieces
but they are
safe
in the vacuum
portal
of my
hoover
entangled
in the
poly-lint
of every
day dirt
what will I do when the bag is full?
buy a new vacuum cleaner?
i think not
i shall just suck up the
rest of me
through the
naughty nozzle
and give over
to
eternal damnation
