Town Cloys
if dinosaurs existed
today we’d blow up their
beds and they’d be given
red toys, fed cream, their
eyes closed every
time they are visited
we’d still be giants
if fossils had connected
bones and were soft
beings, we wouldn’t
scream, we’d just laugh as
they’d chase plastic
food dangling in front
of their faces
we’d steal their mother’s
babies and put them with
clowns and paint their
lips and they would cry
sometimes as we
are staring at them but
we wouldn’t know because
we are not one
of them
we’d throw them away like
ragged dolls after we are
sick of their shape and
want to see something with
hair and feelings
