Lyle the Future King of the Great Expanding Universe
Lyle, do you see?
As cohesive as a newborn that don't need instructing
(and all the tots in a line in front and behind)
As adhesive as the duct tape wrapped around your torso
As peaceful as your breathing when it stops
The crack of a crack across your unblinking face
like flies circling a mammoth
Still Ex-Tinct
there's no sense to it
and there's no way around it
String it up. Freeze it, cook it, and eat it
The kid with the spear don't need instructing
He took to it like a hammer, like a bridge, like an ant
As natural as a killer
As quiet underwater
aesthetic yet prophetic
a beautiful thing
But there you stand, royal and aloof
sans violence, sans volition
toes curled, hands that quiver
a mind for dreaming
a heart for breaking
This is your warning
Watch your back cuz the tots have teeth
