Vegan Taxidermy

a hardly morbid paper mache crane full of jolly rancher candies. blindfolded children wildly swinging bats on the backporch. the wise sit back and drink diet shasta grapefruit soda. few understood the sky to be sheathed in paper constantly burning. such an exquisite sacrifice... inside in the livingroom an old victorian couch smells of mouthballs and aged sunshine. inanimately standing there in its four legged stance. objects like this caused many to sin in the wildernesses of sinai. some gathered perspective others did not. burst goes the belly of a brightly colored papyrus crane. busy goes the little fingers picking up the candies tumbling out.
